Down here Japanese COE models are the best option. My last one (1992 model) was a 4ltr turbo diesel 10 speed Ford/Mazda had good highway legs cruised at 110kph (70ish mph) 3000rpm all day at around 18-20 mpg.
At this medium size, box flat chassis rails are normal with box sizes ranging from 10ft up to 20ft in 2ft increments. Headroom up to 12ft (plenty of room for a single bloke) even have cabover bed space. (known as luton peaks)
mine has a 1in steel box frame above the wooden hardwood floor (tallow wood) with alloy sheet external covering.
I reckon most over your way are gasser engines though, Isuzu, Hino's come to mind.
