Wildhorse 298 #1 Posted May 8, 2016 I have a plow for what I think is for an rj58 that I found today. Plow is brand new never restored or mounted. Any thoughts on this? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,954 #2 Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Maybe a Suburban, I'm not sure... definitely not the same way my RJ's plow mounts. Oh, here you go... that mount looks like this one here for my '60 model 400. Edited May 8, 2016 by AMC RULES 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildhorse 298 #3 Posted May 8, 2016 Thanks! That looks like it's it. It mounts the way the one that came with it but maybe retrofit? My son is almost done restoring his RJ. Have everything but exhaust shield. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,361 #4 Posted May 8, 2016 Yea, that's definitely for a Suburban. I'm thinking it won't mount to a RJ because of the front axle design but I'm not certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,953 #6 Posted May 8, 2016 They did make a bracket to mount on the RJ to use those. It hangs below the frame and goes around the front axle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,558 #7 Posted May 8, 2016 Not plow related ,but could you check to see what paint matches up best (iH red or regal red ) . Maybe you could end the paint debate but I doubt it . Great score by the way , and your son has one sweet ride . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,406 #10 Posted May 18, 2016 Here is what the RJ bracket looks like. I know there are other better pictures of it on the forum, but I can't manage to find any at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out new pic of a hitch I painted with rustoleum sunrise red next to NOS plow.... closest I've gotten and identical in my opinion. I posted it in mods and restorations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
