Oh crap.........now they know I'm a grey haired hippie!!! That's Pat Mackin with his back to the camera.

Tom, the mirrors are "just" wide enough to see around the bunk okay. If you look at the picture with me in it, you'll notice the drivers mirror is just outside the bunk.

The picture was at Wellington, Ohio. The Lagrange engine show is at the fairgrounds every fall. Our local ATHS chapter gets together and has a meeting there. Some guys stay all weekend as they also have tractors and pull too. Neat show, lots of stuff to look at. Our club has been there for many years and take up the back corner of the property.

Bob, had thoughts of getting complete truck, but the township would likely linch me if I had some junk semi sitting in the driveway LOL! (or at least give me grief about it). Been there, dealt with them already with my truck. I suppose the more power the better, but I'd be happy with even a 250hp ENDT673C right now. I'm not greedy. Buddy wants me to ditch the triplex for a 13 spd. I just don't want to give it up yet. Plus since I just put that little aux box I don't think it would put up with a BUNCH of torque. We'll see............don't have extra money now anyway LOL!

slpwlker, I don't plan on using the aux for much other then slow moving when I'm backing up. I was surprised that it doesn't give me as much reduction as I was thinking, but any is better then none. It moves a bit too fast(in direct) for my taste and I don't like riding the clutch while manuveuring.

6041 has a 2.14 1st gear. Should be a nice little setup. My Dodge 5500 has a 7041 with a 2.30 low gear and it is the best thing going when slow manuvering.
