Truck Mounted Blower

This blower truck is I believe a 1970 GMC. It is owned by Steve (sorry don't know his last name) from Booneville, NY. He uses it to keep his hotel clear. That would be The Headwaters Motor Lodge, on Rt. 12 North in Booneville. My brother stays there when he goes snow mobiling. 

Anyway, Steve let him take pictures of his Sno-Blo (HARD) in action.

Gas tank from a 73 - 87 Chevy(22gal).
See the shaft going to the hydraulic pump?

That's a 327 Chevy powering the blower!

Front view. Looks mean doesn't it? I'd be scared to transport it from job to job.
Unlike with a plow, any accident would be very costly.

Truck is in great shape for a 70 in Upstate NY.

Looks like a 4 speed trans, I'm not sure though. See the massive hydraulic pump?

In action.

It really throws!

Look at that plume of snow!

Cool set-up huh?

Sometimes you can find trucks like this, and blowers for sale on Ebay. Take a look.
