Nick, back a million years ago when I was younger, a bit dumber, and a lot more optimistic, I had a neighbor that plowed snow with his '73 F250, and talked me into going out with him with my '69 IH 1200D (both 3/4T) to make a few extra bucks. After 2 winters of burning both ends of the clock working days and nights, getting stuck and sitting waiting for my buddy to get free to pull me out (and vise versa), welding his and my broken stuff between runs, dealing with customers who felt that THEY had to be plowed out before anyone else, especially when it started snowing at 6pm, was still going strong at 6am and their place was already done once, or even twice... a FEW bucks and a bunch of painfully frustrating moments at the time, though laughable in hindsight is all that I can claim.
If you have no illusions of making money at this, have some extra money to throw away on a truck and plow that will get beat up, are willing to get 'beat up' by customers who won't be happy, no matter what, by all means: go for it. I find it enough work to keep my own driveways to the barns open with a tractor that was designed to be worked hard, and is still going at 65 years old. A pickup with a plow, regardless of the care you give it the rest of the year, won't survive but a fraction of that.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
