Thanks Geofkaye, yes I'd like a couple of do-overs,

first would be to spend the money on basement ducted AC, that would really help narrow the drop roof.

second, a more conventional lower side build out of tubing rather than laser cut sheet would have simplified things and possibly save me weight and a lot of money.

but the biggest thing would be I'd start with an International 4300 and maybe even an Auto transmission.

but man this 6500 rides nice, real smooth. yes I'd like to start again, especially with the idiots that built my shop with a 9' door!
