Been driving trucks for a long time, and while the initial cost is cheap for what you have, you are going to spend a ton of money and time getting the vehicle safe. It's always cheaper to start with a 1 ton chassis with a blown engine than to upgrade a half ton. You should cut your losses and get a proper foundation to start with. If you are going to pull a big enclosed trailer, you need a turbodiesel. I don't know if this guy sold it yet, but there is a Suburban on racingjunk.com that has the 1 ton chassis, dually wheels and a Cummins w/auto for 4500.00 down in Texas.
