Henke makes some good stuff. I see it has a cutting edge trip.

You have the benching or patrol wing plow as well?

Those L8000’s used to be a pretty popular truck for plows. Saw a lot of them with a snorkel on the air intake to move it so it didn’t freeze up with snow.

Bet that was an interesting ride for sure.

this one didnt come with the side wing . the old one had it though . i figured there was problem with freezing because theres a switch for the intake to pull from under the hood. the drive was very interesting . the truck did run good for the 300 mile trip doing 65 with no issues. the old one only did 42 it sucked madision wi to south dakota. i found out after selling her that i porbably should of unhooked the pto . i think thats stupid but i had never messed with commercial trucks before.

Used to sell a ton of parts for those things, don't see them much anymore down here but I've been out of the business for a long time.
