Since it's a 3500 why not a 6bt, that way you know you'll have plenty of grunt

Well a 6bt would be less than a 454 with a snowplow hangin off the front, wich gets done all the time, just a thought of course. Good luck however you do it

no i am talking about total weight as i hotshot and this is a project for a new add to the fleet so weight is a major issue.
