Default VIKING-CIVES TOW PLOW 1/14 Build

Well there is snow everywhere, i'm bored, i need to find something to keep my self busy and not spending to much money soooooo...... for my first build on this site i though i would work on a snow plow so i decided to build a TowPlow (mostly cuz the township where i live just got one and i see it maybe ones or twice a week ).
So i want to make it look as close to the real thing so i might try my hand at RC hydraulics which shouldn't be to hard, I've rebuilt the hydraulic cylinders on my dads tractors before so how hard would machining a 1/14 scale cylinder be . If anybody has any ideas or maybe any links to some online stores that sell hydraulic systems or just the pump and control valves that would be great.

Ok so this is what i'm building looks like in really life and as soon as the frame rails show up i'll have more to show and please note i don't have a 1/14 truck yet and will hopefully be buying one after i get my taxes done and i'll be doing a build on making it in to a dump truck/sander truck to go with said towplow.
