A plow on a 2 wheel drive pick-up will be next to useless.
If you put alot of weight in the back and run chains you might get by.
Most newer plows have the pump on the plow frame (dc motor)
Older ones will have a belt driven pump.
The meyers plows are lighter then say a fisher 7 1/2 footer which will be easier on the truck
front end.
Not sure if a plow frame will bolt up to a 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive though.
Might have to weld something up.
The plow i use is a meyers that i bought on a brand new 1980 Dodge.
It's been on 3 different trucks since then and still going strong.
