Me, over here absolutely STEAMING at the lack of ZF/WABCO parts. 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.

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.

That stripe is still an option on Peterbilt and KW. I believe it’s called Apache. I went with this one because of the straight line. All the angles on the new truck are sharp not rounded. 

that's a damn fine looking tractor.  So the dealer is installing the stacks?  What else does the dealer install?

I guess a legend and an out-of-work bum look a lot alike.

I think that the tan panel between the driver door edge and the back window should have a burnt orange longhorn symbol placed there.  

Purty tho

Hail naw!  That’s the cover for where it would be installed. I got zero baby sitter big brother bs on it.

I’m working on a way to incorporate my avatar onto the truck somewhere. Any leads on custom license plate makers? Any of y’all do that cricket shit?

You can probably get someone that makes signs to do that out of vinyl.

That 680 we just took to Dearborn and back had that radar.   Didn’t take long to pull over and cover it up with foil and black duck tape.

This video so reminds me of my youth.  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.
