My '88 is about the ideal feed truck for ranch use, except for being 2WD; cost me $1,500, all the parts are cheaper than for a newer truck, and the IDI is ideal for alternative fuel use. If a bull decides to use my truck to rub his head, no biggie; hammer it out and don't sweat it.
As for the duallies, I HATE those on a ranch truck; you always end up with rocks and sticks between them! I have some super wide E rated mud tires on the back; they're like drag slicks, damn near.

hmm.. I have the first gen 4x4 dually.. It would make a great farm truck BUT you have to have a strong back.. the ride is a kidney buster over rough terrain
I would almost say go for a 7.3 IDI truck also.. they go cheap around here, thus parts are plentiful, not so many first gen dodges every part I needed for this truck other than filters I've had to order.
also if you get a dually, lock the rear! just found out mine is locked and that would explain why I can plow through slippery terrain in 2wd with ease
