Meyer Plow Mounting Carton Information

EZ Classic

EZ Classic was Meyer's first atttempt at making a plow with a removable Lift Frame, and it worked fine. As long as you took the Lift Frame out EVERY year, otherwise it would be next to impossible to ever get it out again without a torch and some cutting. Regardless, they were well built mounts that could take a lot of abuse. Now of course someone is reading this saying "no they can't, meyers plows are junk" good for you, move on or you may learn something here. Hanging plows on trucks and fixing them over the past almost 14 years in THIS shop, just when I think I have seen it all, a truck comes in and shows me I have not. When the driver is damaging the truck frame from beating on it so hard, the plow mount AND plow do not stand a chance. In my head I picture them plowing like Mel Gibson ripping down the beach house in the GM dually pickup in the Lethal Weapon movie!

Anyway.... The EZ Classic Mounting Cartons are getting scarce for two reasons; one is price, and the other is age. The EZ Classic mount that is the last meaning fits the latest model truck is the 2013 (Dodge) Ram 2500/3500 GAS engine. GM was 2010 on the 2500/3500 and Ford is 2004. So we are talking about a mount that will only fit a 10 year (or older) old truck. Meyer is not in a hurry to make complete EZ Classic Mounting Cartons. Yes, they are called Mounting Cartons, NOT "push plates" that is a Fisher Engineering plow term. So that is the age part, how about price? Well it is clear Meyer made some adjustments unlike in the past, so the pricing on new ones now varies. It used to be just about all fullsize truck Mounting Cartons were the same price, and all EZ Classic TM Mounting Cartons were the same price. Remember we are talking about two lines discontinued in 2009. Before I get to the example pricing, I want to mention that below you will be able to distinguish between the EZ Classic TM Mounting Cartons and the fullsize because the TM ones INCLUDE the Pivot Bar AND A Frame. So that makes the price MUCH higher, and you will also see a DP at the end of the part#. Such as 18084DP, which simply means the Mounting Carton INCLUDES a Drive Pro Pivot Bar and A Frame that WILL pin onto an EZ Classic TM Mounting Carton. This Pivot Bar A Frame (PAF) was used as part of a "Facelift" Meyer used to offer. The problem is that no one needs the Pivot Bar or A Frame when they buy a used plow for their vehicle. So there are some Mounting Cartons that will have a note saying "Less SAF" or less "PAF". The SAF is the Sector (and) A Frame. The SAF and PAF are the black iron that connects the actual Moldboard to the vehicle.

So lets pick some popular Mounting Cartons for example 2019 - 2020 List Prices:
17112 1999 - 04 FordF-250/350 - $1161.50
17082DP 1987 - 1996 Jeep Wrangler YJ - $2246.70
17083 1987 - 1996 Jeep Wrangler YJ (NO PAF) - $1172.75
17103, 17104 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 has been discontinued.
17089 1988-99 GM (Classic Body) - $963.01
18119 Jeep Wrangler JK - $1776.94

So you can see the prices vary, BUT they are all around $1000 or more. So that is the price part. The price is also a double edge sword for Meyer Distributors and Dealers, they do not want to stock expensive mounts that are not big sellers. So they order less, then Meyer makes less based on demand. eBay has become the best place in my opinion to find mounts. Used if you prefer, or new old stock if you prefer, they have both listed there for sale. Of course some of these Meyer Mounting Cartons will be hard to find, even on eBay, but you have to look, espcially if you are trying to find a very scarce mount and you are striking out everywhere else. eBay is a way to search much broader than you local Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace. By all means, try them as well, you need to look any place you can for the Mounting Carton you need. Remember, they are VEHICLE SPECIFIC, so there are no universal parts. A Ford Mounting Carton will not fit a Dodge, and a GM will not fit a Ford. You can make anything fit anything with a lot of time, money, a torch and a welder. So to make it easier for you in your search, there are two links for each Mounting Carton. The link in the part# column is a direct link to eBay to search for that specific Mounting Carton. The Install Instructions column is a direct link to the Install Instructions on the Meyer web site where all files are in .pdf format FREE for download. There are hardware lists and diagrams for each Mounting Carton so you can see what is included and what you are getting yourself into if you want to install it yourself. Install Instructions have names such as "1-965.pdf", etc..
