If you was to take the best of both GM & Ford chassis, combine & make one unit, would be the F53 chassis with air ride instead of springs, 362 HP V10 & 6 speed Allison transmission.
Now that would be the cream of the crop.
Maybe one other thing I would add, dont know if it would be possible to do, but the Dyna~tard braking system like was used on the Blue Bird Wanderlodge coaches.
That would be as close as you could get to a jake brake on a gas coach for the hills.
