That's a very tall order, and part of me wonders if it's really necessary. I'm pretty sure it would not be possible with aerodynamic improvements alone.
It might be possible with a small donor truck, a large budget, ride height reduction, an aerodynamic rebody, and an open mind about acceleration and the appearance of the finished product. I'm picturing a chopped and teardropped Ranger with a low, feet-forwards seating position and an imported 2.0L Ford diesel.
However, the more reasonable thing to do would be own a 20mpg truck for towing your bulldozer, and a Prius for commuting, sleeping in, and towing 1000lbs.
