I remember it well, it was sometime after the 1973 body style came out. Chevy commercial had a blue and white K20 with a 400SB and a manual 4 speed pulling the plow. The commercial never showed them starting off with the plow in the ground, they alway got a running start. It was a 4 bottom trail type plow, probably 4-14's... That commercial did sell at least one truck... Late 1977 I bought a 1978 K20 Scottsdale, 350SB, turbo 400, limited slip... Truck still lives today except it has a .30 over, 396/350hp under the hood.

I remember seeing it as well... I had a 75 with the 400 in it but didn't try to do any plowing with it
