Not a factory plow, IIRC those were Meyer units mine is a lighter and larger Snoway. The truck handles it well with the bars cranked to the max, a set of Timbren Load Boosters and roughly 600lbs of sand against the tailgate.
Here's a link to the mount install, I'll try and snap a few pics of mine though it'll look different as my mount is a modified one from a Gen 3 truck.

Here's some more
What I woke up to
2 up the driveway at my parents
Into the pile
and a couple for Crazy, the gold bolt and two red handled pins are how the plow hooks to the truck
Uses bumper mount bolts to sandwich the mount between the frame and bumper mount
Thrust arms mount to the lower frame cross rail, no there isn't a gap just the way the flash made it look.

Thats cool! Thanks! I'm glad your truck is being used as a truck. To many don't use it at all as a truck. If you got anymore info at all on a the plow or any plow for our trucks post it up. I will post this in the FAQ2. Tons of good info for anyone who wants to install one.

My poor truck is used and abused, it really needs some TLC from the welder. lol
I've got a little bit more info on the plow mounts available (or that were I should say), it should be noted that any plow labeled conventional (ie that mounts behind the bumper and the pump/lights aren't removable) are actually prohibited by Federal law from being installed on a vehicle newer than 1994. Mounts with a * next to them have plows still available.
Western Plows
87-90 Western Conventional #60585
91-94 Western Conventional #61355
87-96 Western Unimount #61860
Fisher Plows
87-90 Fisher Conventional #AM288C
91-94 Fisher Conventional #7110
87-96 Fisher Minute Mount #7130B
Meyer Plows (these were available as a factory option and were offered until 1994 I believe)
*87-96 Meyer EZ Classic #18060
*87-96 Meyer Drive Pro #18060DP
Snoway Plows
87-96 Snoway MT & ST/ Subframe #99100071 and Nosepiece #96100694, BOTH ARE REQUIRED
Blizzard Plows
*87-04 Blizzard LT #B32214
Now in my experience a mount from a 97-04 truck can be modified to work which opens up more
options, the upper plow mount holes will need to be redrilled and the lower thrust arms will
need to be shorted and holes drilled in the truck lower cross member.
What is listed above is just the mount there are a myriad of wiring choices and would have been
too much to list as they vary from year to year and what control method is used.
