Anyone building new, this should be the only way to go. Mr. Dragon, I presume you're talking Peterbilt 379 or 359 Extended Hood, twin external exhaust stacks, no bunk over cab, lots of chrome, lots of lights, visor, train whistle, and CAT engine (that way you can proudly wear the CAT hat going down the road).

Did I get it right?

PS: He is probably right about the automatic, though tough to find.
