For my money, and it will cost quite a bit, I would get a straight blade, with power angles. You need to probably upgrade your alternator. The Local Meyers guy suggested 130AMP. That may be overkill. But all the up/down/ side to side chews on the battery.

Be sure your blade has a replaceable skid bar on the bottom, and springs to blade impact. It takes some real punishment on dirt roads, so be sure its welded to the frame very well, or bolt it with gusset plates.

Lastly, with an M-37, or any other pickup, although its not required, you may want to wet a bag of cement or two to add weight. Only other thing would be a rear winch or long come-along and a good sturdy shovel. Only once in a while you get stuck, but its usually a doozy when you do
