Sounds like my truck is similar. 1980 S-1954 tandem axle, 466, 13sp RR, Hendrickson suspension. I bought it new. Never weighed less than 34,000 lbs when I was using it every day. Usually ran it at capacity which was 48,000
I don't have experience with anything newer. It would seem to me that older trucks in good condition should have a premium value in that they are not loaded with computers and expensive fuel systems. Like Bob said, the truck is under powered but I see that as another virtue with $3.50 fuel.
