It just depends on what type of trailer you get. My dual tandum 27+5 flatbed is rated for 20kGVW. I couple that too my 02 F350 DRW for a total of 31.5kGCW. IMO, that's just too much load weight to be cost effective on this type of rig. IMO, around 26kGCW would be maximum to be cost effective, ie; without extreme repair costs.
After you've pulled a dual tandum trailer, you will not want to go back to a SRW axle trailer as the dual tandum adds alot of stability. The same applies to the tow vehicle.
Since your mod'ing, you might want to consider the Eaton 9spd autoshift, a gear driven automatic that only needs to be clutched for stopping or starting. All up/dn shifts are done via user input RPM shift points. With a triple OD gears and a diesel, I could see where 30mpg plus empty could be possible but still have enough torque to pull a good amount of load weight when needed. The drawback, it's a huge tranny!

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
