FWIW, here is an ACTUAL truss plan which calls out gusset size AND nailing pattern.

That's pretty fantastic, thanks for sharing. I love that it even shows how to build a jigFWIW, here is an ACTUAL truss plan which calls out gusset size AND nailing pattern.
My dad always said the most important thing in real estate was 'timing, timing, timing'. I didn't hear everyone else's first rule until I was in my late 20's. Dad was always trying to leverage everything : )Since the OP has never returned I will weigh in in this.
First rules of real estate are location, location, location....
Its been a week and a half since the OP came and went, generally, new members that join, ask a question and don't get the answers they were hoping for, don't come back.Since the OP has never returned I will weigh in in this.

His last sentence was “ how do I fix this without judgement “ I agree he already knew what he wanted to do,

Pretty cool! I'm saving this document. I figured there had been designs out there for these trusses, not just a random framer hammering 1/2" plywood gussets to 2x4s, LOL.FWIW, here is an ACTUAL truss plan which calls out gusset size AND nailing pattern.
That documents lists 30 psf for roof live load, so appropriate for snow loading and over the typical 20 psf for roof live load for elsewhere in the US. They even published a graph for load vs deflection, and tested to failure at 115 psf live load! That's awesome!

By poking around online you can find all kinds of stuff already drawn up. For example here's some neat stuff..............https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-hub/ag-topics/ag-buildings/building-plans/construction-building-plansPretty cool! I'm saving this document.

I created a profile this morning, and ran across this thread. I have close to 40 years of truss design under my belt, so I thought I'd answer your question.I am trying to figure out how to fix a problem I got in pole barn I'm converting to home. Was built a long time ago, unknown of year built, no permit was ever pulled prior to building. Currently have 2x4 common trusses, 4/12 pitch, spaced every 4'. Pole barn is 32' wide (1' overhang on each side) and 48' long. Recently dug out concrete footer to make building code for home, prior posts were in dirt. Trusses in middle are starting to sag/pull apart. How do I fix the issue so I can move on.
Don't know truss manufacturer. I believe the truss isn't sitting on header of wall where it should. How do I fix without judgment ...
Those are some of the most half-assed hand made trusses I've ever seen. There's no saving them. They simply need to be replaced.
Sorry - I'm sure that's not the answer you wanted to hear.
