May have to improvise a bit,try Details West part #'s(Walters)
235-150 "Weedcutter" plow $2.75
235-185 Low Profile plow $2.75
Used a "Weedcutter" plow on the Metroliner cab car I'm working on.

Backshop,
That's a pretty good approximation when comparing the photos.
Pilpro, if you take this route take your time with cutting and filing. It appears that the taper angle that gives the upper section the "V" profile is at approximately 60 degrees, which would start about 1/4 down from the top of the Low Profile plow and would end where it connects with the Weedcutter plow, which would have vertical sides.

The plow pilots on the Metroliner,Amtk-Ca,and the BBD Bi-level cab cars,seem to be
a piece of sheet metal stock shaped(rolled?) just enough to be effective.
If you are going to modify 1 of the DW plows,you are working with cast metal
material,be sure to cleanup all the filings created,and clean any tools used.
