LF: New Hauler (heavy truck)

[Dewie]

Hey all,

I'm starting a hunt for a new-to-me hauler for hauling some horses/equipment around.

Ideally I'd like to find a full size truck, an old road tractor/straight-truck size of truck. I'm not afraid of something with a ton of KMs on it; I'm not going to be making my living with it. I have my air brake endorsement as well so that's not really a concern. If an old road tractor I'm willing to remove an axle etc as necessary; I'd like to put a flat deck on the back similar to the truck I have now and will be mounting a gooseneck ball on it.

Basically I want to use a big truck, under-worked, to do what a 3/4 or 1 ton CAN do.

Must list:
- Be capable of 110 km/h on the flats
- Be fixable (not require mega frame-up restoration)

Bonus points:
- Already single axle
- Already has a flat deck
- I can drive it home

Supermega bonus points with stars:
- Crew cab
- Safety Inspected?
- Free? haha

There are a couple of 1980's Internationals in the Valley which would fit the ticket but the engines in them aren't really ideal. I want this for hauling to/from horse shows more so than general farm use (may use it to haul a trailer for getting hay but that'd be about it)

There is an old Mack along side the #3 going through the timberlee area. been sitting there a long time. no idea what condition or whether its for sale, but it hasnt moved in a long time

Bump

Being told I really need something with either air-ride suspension or to make an air-ride coupler for an aluminum horse trailer.

Again I'm not looking for anything fancy, I've looked at a few trucks now and turned them down just to not being geared for the highway.
