    Honestly I've just never really been a huge Peterbilt guy. I've always been more a KW and Western Star fan.

    They're nice trucks but you just don't see the long hood Peterbilts in the bush much. 567/567H seem to be the ones most buy for that application.

    Definitely looks better without horns on the cab.

    Looks pretty decent IMO. Looking forward to when Steve decks one out with a bunch of aftermarket parts.

    The extra storage space in the battery box is cool.

    Not to sure about the dash switches, to me that looks like kenworth switches...

    302 wheel base is a bit much.

    The bunk windows that pop up like that don't really offer much airflow.

    Not a fan of the open storage above the windshield, having little pop up doors on them makes for a much cleaner look...

    I was wondering myself, on truck paper they have 3 listed but all say, call for price.

    I like this one better with the smaller drivers side fuel tank that way the DEF tank can be tucked under versus sticking out like a sore thumb
