for 5 grand your in uneasy territory. you can buy a older unit for that BUT that truck will be very worn, and may not pass a dot inspection [ if you leave your driveway sooner or later you will run into a random roadside inspection], plus at that price the engine is usually ready for overhaul, and thats expensive, we overhauled a 3406 cat in a peterbilt,last year, that was running fine, just high miles, it was overhauled for reliability out the door was over 18,000 dollars, were i you and was going to use the truck fairly regularly id go for more twice that amount and get a better truck with a recent overhaul, i paid 16,000 for a late 80's kw tractor, new tires, new brakes and drums, rebuilt engine from a cat dealer with all the warranty and paperwork to back it up , its a buyers market right now and used trucks are cheap , just know what your buying for a example, if the seller says it had a overhaul 100,000 miles ago, ask from who? a overhaul from a reputibal mechanic or a good dealer is great, espeically if all the paperwork for work done is available, one form a buddy in his yard for a trade out deal half of which was beer, not so good, when you get seroius and have narrowed it down to 1 or 2 trucks draw a oil sample from the engine and send it for a annalisis, that is money well spent and will give you a excelent report on what condition the engine is really in like another poster said dont go for a 2 speed rear end in a big truck you shouldnt need it for what your doing any truck with a 350hp engine or larger will work and will have a 9,10, 13, 15, or even a 18 speed trans and will be way overkill for what you are doing, but the diesel will get better fuel economy than a mid size gas rig and a giant amount more power and touque
