New can be $150-250k.

Used can be $20k for a real beat to shit one and up.

I'm looking to spend up to $50k on a used heavy spec tractor.

Make sure you get a sliding fifth wheel if you aren't sure what you're hauling, preferably under 42" tall.

An FLD will hold up better than a classic, but a T800 is better suited to offroading. Detroit is going to be your lowest cost of ownership, since the 60 Series had damn near a 20 year run, so they're dirt common and cheap. A 14L will have plenty of grunt offroad stock, but you can bolt on 700+ hp for a few grand with a 12.7L. Definitely want to go pre-EGR, so 2002 and older, but a 1999 or older will get you around the ELD mandate if it isn't repealed.
