Steel trusses are typically assembled using a combination of welding and bolting techniques. First, individual components such as chords and webs are cut to size and prepared for joining. These parts are then either welded together at joints for a permanent connection or bolted for easier disassembly. Once assembled, the trusses are often lifted into position using cranes and secured to the structural supports of the building.
Don't try it without having an architect engineer it for you first. Trusses are an engineered product. If the integrity of the truss is compromised you might have some serious problems.
It is dependent on where you live, but roof trusses are available to purchase and be delivered to your house. Or you could pick up the trusses yourself if you prefer those means.
Your problem is more than you posted. Cut a hole in the ceiling or wall, and install a ductsto the return plenum and/or run it through the floor trusses or ceiling trusses but look at someway to remove air from the room in question and get it back the main air conditioner return heating ducts
A lot.
Three common structures that utilize trusses are bridges, roofs of buildings, and towers. Trusses provide strength and stability, allowing for longer spans and lighter structures. For example, in bridges, trusses help distribute loads evenly, while in roofs, they support the weight of the covering materials. Towers, such as communication towers, use trusses for structural integrity and resistance to wind forces.

For a gable end to gable end installation on 16" spacing you would need 34 trusses, 2 of which would be the gables. If your roof-line has hip ends or will be incorporated into an existing structure there will be more trusses.
Busses rhymes with trusses. Let's use the word in a sentence: Since Mitch Longley didn't have a car, he was forced to take the busses.
Roof trusses are used to support the roof and to make certain that the weight of the roof is distributed equally across the building for maximum support.
