Put in the big hole and gouge on it (truck driver check in)

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. -

Well, when you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck, in London you're a goner. Even London Bridge has fallen down and moved to Arizona; -

It’s an air cylinder that acts like a spring on the clutch pedal. It takes less foot pressure to engage the clutch. also has torque assist steering. Has a switch with 3 settings to help turn the wheel when stoped or at slower speeds. -

Studied the spec sheet like the zapruder film. Line by line. Biggest things are all the babysitter electronics I had deleted. Like adaptive cruise. Lane departure. Collision avoidance system. All the shit that the truck would try to take control of. down to minor things like no hood mirrors. And taking the siphon protection screens out of the fuel tanks. -

Best pic I can find of the main color. “Aztec gold” looks like burnt orange to me 🤠 It will have cream stripes outlined in black. I know, I know. But I think the cream will look better than true white. Still holding out hope that some rich surly benefactor is going to step up and make a big donation. -

I’m am strongly considering this. With a white stripe and black border. That orange is fucking beautiful in person if you haven’t seen it. -

So after shopping around I’ve found that the new Pete’s don’t have shit as far as storage. So I’m in the process of specking out a KW t680. I’m not really happy about it but it’s more practical. looking at this paint scheme. Not these colors. Any suggestions on 3 color combos that would look really good.
