That's a big span. You will most likely need engineering. Will you run columns in the center?

Zeke is right, that's one large span. The biggest gambrel roof garage plans I've seen measure 33' x 32'. I've posted a picture of the plans at http://www.car-garage-plans.com/

These are the plans I used to make my gambrel roof. I am nearly finished and will post pics soon.

Here's an outfit out of Pa. that has Gambrel trusses out to 40' free span. From the link, click on the pdf for Gambrel Trusses

The link JohnK007 posted looks like what the OP is after.

None of the NDSU plans show an attic truss afaik.

Try Curtis Lumber. The brother (or some family member) owns a truss manufacturing company in upstate NY. They have several locations near Albany and are a good, family owned company.
I used them to build a 24x28 2-story gambrel style garage and everything worked out well. I have no real major complaints.
They can build or resize any components of the packages.

local metal building fabricator did us up a design on a 40x60 metal building with a gambrel roof. It can be done free-standing, withtout any drops.
