I was fooling around on the Ford and Dodge pages, building trucks. I don't see how you'd stick a "normal" TC on one of those chassis cab trucks. Seems like that'd have to be something custom. My 'theoretical budget' is probably around $130K for truck and TC combined.
Wouldn't the diesels be preferable to the gas engines?
For your budget you can have/build just about whatever you want. And yes a gasser will get the job done but imo a diesel is preferable.
If you go with the bigger class 4/5 truck, it's not really a good daily driver in my mind, unless you like commuting to work in construction equipment.
However if you're a strictly by the numbers person and aren't willing to understand or accept anything but what's printed in black and white, most of the big TCs will have you in a stripped down gasser 1 ton dually or a med duty truck to be within the factory payload rating.
