Default newbie and new build

Ok everyone lots of good input on here been looking for a while, we are looking to do a conversion on a hdt prefer a Volvo but does not have to be, what I do need is a decent medium sized sleeper that I can put seats in, also need an 8 to 9 foot flat bed with goose neck hitch, must be on the 400hp range with a manual transmission, I want to set this up with the right rear end gear to achieve the best mpg, will be towing our 40 foot horse trailer with living quarters approx. 21,000 lbs loaded with 3 horses and the dog and so on.

what is everyone's thoughts and suggestions
I plan to buy a single axle if I can find it not I will single a tandem.
I have looked at the LP MTD trucks and they are ridiculous in prices I can get an HDT for a lot less, not worried about the license or driving we farm and I have been in all kinds of trucks and tractors my whole life.

thanks in advance
