Ram Snow Blower

I agree with Ozy, USA or Canada..

I spent some time trying to identify the logos on the truck door and fuel pump, but no joy yet..

The “OTR” may simply identify that pump dispenses on road diesel..

Well, my friend on Instagram nailed it. He matched the door logo to Minnesota DOT.
I’ve already reached out to them to open a dialogue.

Excellent!! I checked a few State logos last night but I was working further West, I knew I'd seen that logo recently....

Can't imagine why they would need something like that in Minnesota

MYSTERY SOLVED!
Sit down first. It’s a ‘66 Osh Kosh and they refurbed it with the Ram cab. Incredible.

That is SO COOL that they answered your questions and sent you pics!

Yes they did Ozy.

Many thanks to to MnDOT and to Ryan Pedone, my friend on Instagram. Without their help, we would still be scratching our heads.

I'm amazed a State/Municipality would even do this. Usually that is just for private operations.

Good job Wayne!

I just thought the pic was cool and others might like it. I should have known better... we all secretly want one now!

Any specifics on the blower engine?

Our school had an early 60's Osh Kosh 2206 plow rig (not a blower). Old military surplus that as I recall was donated to the school. It was a real tank. Our Ag teacher was also head of the bus garage (maintenance) and brought it into the shop for maintenance a few times to let us get our hands dirty. I don't remember the specifics on the engine but it was a big inline gasser. The military used the 2206 until at least the early 90's and updated these trucks with either Detroit or Cat power.
