I have a 2002 Chevy 2500HD and a 27' tri axle gooseneck with a 5 ' beaver tale. 10,000# tractor is a big load for it. I need a bigger truck. I have looked at 1 ton dually pickups, but almost all are extended cab long boxes that I have no desire to own or use. I have been to shows and occasionally see a mid 60's 2 ton ( Chevy C60 or Ford F600) with short wheel base and a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch pulling a trailer. I like the looks of them and am thinking of going that route. Why couldn't you take a single axle dump truck and take dump box off and mount gooseneck hitch on it and use that? I'm not worried about speed, if I get on the 4 lanes, if I run 60, that's fast enough for me. Highly doubt that I would ever get more than 150 miles from home. Once in a while I see a older 1 ton with a rock box that would probably do what I want. Any thoughts??? While we are at it, I have a 354 Perkins out of a MF 550 combine that I think would be good for powering the truck. More issues?? Chris
