Yeah, you really dont even have enough truck for plowing. If you wanted to do it as a side job youd probably be better off to buy an older truck that already has a plow on it. We used to have a '78 F-150 4x4 with a 351M, C-6 tranny and an old Meyer plow on it. The truck got 10 mpg on it's best day and the pump for the plow lift leaked so much fluid that you had to top it off every time you plowed, but we got the truck for free because it needed work, so how can you go wrong?
If you just have a small amount of plowing to do you would be better off with a tractor or an ATV though. If you get a tractor make sure it has a bucket or a blade on the front though. You obviously wouldnt want a blade on the rear because all you would do is get yourself stuck.
