    I’m in it already, 2020 W990, classic style with a modern twist and a comfortable much updated cab compared to the W900.
     
    Crude Truckin' and SmallPackage Thank this.

    Either a Mack RD688 or CL713 with an E7 460 and Maxitorque 18 speed. Dad drove a CL years ago and I've always had a soft spot for them, but the square headlight R series will always be my favorite
     
    D.Tibbitt, Brettj3876 and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    Close but not quite it. I want a Volvo 860 Glider and a 13 speed. I'm not having any trouble with my D13/iShift but a 13 speed and a no emissions would make it even better.
     
    TexasKGB and tommymonza Thank this.

    I'd love a stretched out west coast R700 or a Super Liner with a coffin sleeper

    For me, the one I own is almost perfect, and it will be in another 3 months when my trailer is paid off and I have no more payments

    Got my dream truck already. 1999 PETE 379 EXHD N14 Celect Plus 525HP 3.55’s 13 speed 285” WB. My baby.
    However for a backup I would love a RW713 Superliner with and Scania V8 in it just for fun. Rest of the specs same as I got.
     
    Badmon and Brettj3876 Thank this.

    Finally acquired my dream truck back. 1985 western star 4964-2, 400 3406B cat, 5 speed main 4 speed auxiliary, 3.90s on neway, 275” factory wheel base.

    If it didn’t come from the factory with spicers I’d swap em for a 15715 15 speed. Maybe 1 day it will happen, for now I want to keep it as factory original as possible. 15 over with 3.70 gears is how I would of ordered it tho if I could of specd it myself.
