Can a snow blade from 1979 power wagon fit on another truck?

It's unlikely a 1979 Power Wagon snow blade will fit another truck without significant modification, if at all. The mounting systems for snowplows are very truck-specific. Even between different years of the same model truck, changes in frame design and mounting points can make a blade incompatible.

Factors that would prevent a fit include:

* Frame Differences: The frame of a 1979 Power Wagon is drastically different from most modern trucks. Even older trucks of different makes and models will have varying frame dimensions and attachment points.

* Mounting Hardware: The blade's mounting system – the brackets, pins, and possibly even the push beam – is almost certainly custom-designed for the Power Wagon's specific frame.

* Blade Width and Weight: The blade's size and weight might exceed the capacity of another truck's frame or front suspension.

While you *might* find some overlap with a similarly-sized older truck of a similar vintage, it's highly improbable without extensive fabrication and modification work. This would likely involve custom-building new mounting brackets and potentially reinforcing the frame of the receiving truck. It would be a significant project requiring welding and metal fabrication skills.
