there is one of thoes international sports chassis running around kamloops also.

Ok well I hope you dont have your heart set on 12 to 14MPG but I agree with your theory. We had a guy in last week, exact sort of setup your talking about. Had a sweet air ride 5thwheel hitch and a monster trailer. Was a sharp looking setup. Just had Pleasure use only decals on the side of the truck. Can skip right by the scales with that for some reason. I wouldnt turn one of those trucks away if they were giving them out though.
