Did you go with what was standard position in a lot of cases, or do more pickin' and choosin'? (Joking, obvi. Early congrats on the new truck) WABCO as in "Westinghouse Air Brake Co."? Back in my heavy equipment operator days, I ran some of their scrapers. Calling them dogshit is putting it mildly.

Calling them dogshit is putting it mildly. The first haul unit I drove was a WABCO 35 ton that the steering would randomly quit working. They planned for this and had emergency steering switch. Fun times.

I went with this one because of the straight line. All the angles on the new truck are sharp not rounded.
November 20Nov 20 that's a damn fine looking tractor. So the dealer is installing the stacks? What else does the dealer install?

I grew up in a rural neighborhood not too far from I-20 and some truck stops and a Kenworth and Peterbilt dealership. As youngsters we would ride our bikes up to the truck stops to buy sodas and candy. It was a wonder we were never taken by some stranger!! We would also go to the KW and PB dealerships and climb on the trucks and watch them work on the trucks in the shop. They would give us models to play with and brochures that we would look at for hours. I remember when they came out with the Bicentennial Edition KW. That was so cool for a 4th/5th grader. Certainly a different era.
