knowing the truck was set up for 80,000lbs 1st does anyone know how much of the trailer weigh would be on the 5th wheel ?

Great looking rig... you should start with a wish list of you want... figure out the weight and how you would distribute it. Then get you axle weights and figure out what you need... good luck with your build... post pics and let us share in your build.
