Not really what you asked.... but I think you might be better off finding something like a 5 ton. ie. an IH 1954. Something with a B Cummins or 466 IH engine, cheap, reliable. Something with a 5 or 6 speed transmission.... and something with AIR brakes. Not air over hydraulic, not air applied park, FULL AIR, S-cam type brakes. Something that will stop you. If you seek one of those trucks out with LoPro 22.5 rubber it won't be a whole lot higher than a ton truck. Depending on the situation you might get away without using a cradle for the body so you can build that directly into the frame to save some more height... and those trucks are still fairly compact and maneuverable. You just need the air ticket to drive them... We had several ton's here over the years. All suffered from continuous brake problems, broken frames, poor handling... and they generally cost as much or more to keep on the road than a decent single axle. A little Freightline 70 would probably be a nice little truck too and often the Freightliners had a lot tighter turning radius than the Binders.... or a lot of old ton's for that matter. If I was going to get a ton or something in that rnage today I'd probably get a Hino or something like that. If you looked around a bit and don't mind scrapping a truck... look for an old fire truck. Lots of them get taken out of service after 20-25 years, are in good condition, have automatic transmission if you want one... and are fairly compact chassis trucks... an old COE engine, as long as it's a commercial chassis and NOT a custom HME or Spartan chassis... those are dandy little trucks.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
