I would look for a clean, possibly restored GMC or IH duece and a half from the WW2 era for cool factor, and put a 12 valve cummins in it. For cheap, I would find an old Kenworth or Pete with anything but a detroit (prefer cummins 400 or 3406A) and a 13 or 15 speed. Can be had for dirt cheap most areas, and much more comfortable on the highway, and can be made a single axle real easy if wanted.

We shopped around and spent about half as much as a good friend spent on a heavy-duty gooseneck and dually duramax, and get better mileage per pound than a lot of medium dutys, per pound hauled at least.
