I had been looking for a decent snow plow for a few years now and I finally found one that needed a little work for the right price.
Its a 8.5' Western Uni-mount that came off an OBS
Here are some pictures and what I have done along the way.
Pictures I got when I found out it was for sale. Was sitting behind a barn for a few years.

After I got it home and put in the shop to start looking it over. I pulled the pump apart at this time and put in new fluid and had to clean up the elector motor and put in a new + post.

OBS Mount that I re-enginered to fit on my SD. After getting it on the truck I hate how low the mount is when the plow is not on the truck. But that is were the pivot point needs to be. I ordered the new style Ultra-mount from Western/Fisher so that when im not using the plow i can take off the uni-mount conversion and it will only show about an inch below the bumper. Will post pics when it comes in this week.

Got it mounted to the truck to move it outside to power wash it. Plow weighs around 800lbs and the truck only went down 1/2". I need to reposition my lights.
