Hi  Ed,

I think that after a certian date, somewhere around  the mid 90's the 
manufacturers could no longer have the old style  "hard-mounted" plows for 
sale anymore, and the new style "unimounts" or  "minute-mounts" became the 
standard. I don't know for sure if this was a  federal law, or just that most 
of the states picked this up.

There is a bumper maximum height requirement in many states and it may be  
federal also.  Tghis may be why the plows come into that requirement if  they 
are permanently mounted...
 
If your truck is 4 ft off the ground with large tires, you have to have a  
bumper with a maximum height of about 24 inches or close to it.  That way  you 
don't get to enjoy yourself in heavy traffic with Bigfoot!!!!!   -)
