Here is one I did a while ago. I removed the center engine compartment to make this H model into just a plow configuration, added a deck plate , couple of tool boxes, lights, and Chicago decals.

Nice custom! I like to see the Chicago-themed models, which are few and far between.

What's the reason,for the gap between engine,and cab?I can only think of even weights,on axles.

Chicago has some that are dedicated plow trucks, and not used for blowers and brooms. I have a small weight added under the diamond plate.   images (3) by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/>
