I was in the same boat. Cub with a 42" blower. I did find a $300.00 cloth and plastic after-market cab but it is meant to mount to the hitch. With my necessary homemade weight box, it will not work unless I modify the cab brackets to attach directly to the weight box.

Anyway, long story short I got sick of the cold and snow blowing back in my face as well, so this fall I bought a '91 Chevy extended cab 4wd with a 4 year old Boss plow on it. The whole setup was about a grand less than a new plow would have cost me. The truck is what it is. A plow truck. A rusty, denty, ugly, loud azz plow truck. lol

My point is, you could possibly find something already setup and save on that '96 of yours. I had the exact same truck and like a fool traded it on my '07.

P.S. I've only got to play with my new toy once this winter due to the lack of snow here. It kinda bums me out! smile

Thought about that but I don't want another vehicle to maintain. If I found a beat-up 96 chevy 1500 w/plow I might grab it, take the plow off and re-sell it though.
