A-Bodies in the snow?
Never driven mine in the snow, though I do have this picture from when my '74 got caught out in a snow storm because there wasn't room in the garage :oops:
For snow use I have a $500 4x4 Extended Cab 5.2L Dodge Dakota with an 8.5' Snow Plow. And for a backup, my '84 D50 and my '87 D50
If the snow gets deep enough to keep my '84 D50 from getting around, I would have bigger things to worry about :D Especially since my '92 Dakota and '87 D50 have both cut paths through 3'+ of snow and were the only trucks on the road (not even the state plow trucks were out in those storms) and both of those trucks had 30" Winter Tread tires. The Dakota is running stock suspension and 30" Winter Treads, the '87 had 4" of lift and 30" Winter Treads (with a 7.5' Snow Plow)
I believe it was 2009 or 2010 when we got slammed with about 38 - 40" of snow over night. My little '87 D50 was the only truck on the road (in fact, I was the person who cut a path into town) except for a Hummer that got stuck at the end of a driveway and spent over an hour trying to get back into the driveway :finga:
