I have an option for you, but there is not a custom fit front mount trailer hitch receiver that is confirmed to fit your 1998 Chevrolet Astro Van.

The only option to install a front mount trailer hitch receiver is to use a universal option like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 which has 7" mounting brackets or the # 41990-16 which has 16" mounting brackets. Either of these options will require custom fabrication for them to fit on your vehicle, and since you are wanting to use a snowplow you will want to have a certified fabricator perform the work to make sure it can support that much weight.

This will give you a 2" receiver allowing you to add a snowplow like the SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow for 2" Hitches - Electric Actuator # SB324-140 to your van.

I included video of the # 41990-16 and a picture of the # 41990-07 installed for you to take a look at.
