    My dad drove for Hunt back in late 89 to 92. He had an International 9700. What did they have for engine and trans in these trucks? 9 speed, 250-300hp Cummins? Has anyone in here drove for these guys in that time period and what was it like back in the day?

    Some of the last ones they ordered in 1999 did have some 435 hp Detroits with 10’s. They were trying hard to retain drivers at that time. Late ‘99 they ordered their first ever conventionals. FL columbias.
