soler,
no, i'm not ignoring you :)the printer is in mexico and they don't speak english - go figure!!
i'm trying to work with this guy there who is the translator. this whole thing is a designers nightmare.
so, i'm trying to just make this file so they can use it no matter what.
so would half the size and double the resolution solve the problem?? (then they can just scale it up?)

give them a 600 x 200 72dpi image and tell them to 'work with this fuckers'

i've done billboards that were printed at about 30 - something dpi.
just design it at scale and use the highest resolution you can without slowing yourself down. as far as type goes... once again... proportion.
also good for consideration is knowing whether the billboard will be on the left or right side of the road.
if it's on the left, it will be farther away, and you should be very clear and concise with the info you want to stick.

tell the printer what you want to do and have him send you comps until you are happy
