    I called JB Hunt fleet operations and asked for the used cabovers circa 1983 division. It turns out they kept one cabover around just in case it could make a good story one day.

    I did not like the trucks, but I drove one old ford, broke in half cabover that sure rode nice.
    I drove several old Kw's and petes, spring and even torsion bar suspensions, and don't want any more of them types of rides anymore at all.

    The 9670 was a decent truck. Pumpkin used them and they hauled a lot of the country's toilet paper.

    I always liked international trucks, and there was a time I actively looked for a later model flat floor international co. If I could have ever found one with oo specs, I would have bought it and ask for forgiveness after the fact. lol It was hard to locate a nice one that was not fleet speced though.

    my guess would be shotgun coil over the drives, pharmaceuticals in the middle and mounted Gatling guns on the tail.

    UPS most of the time unbadges their trucks. The Mack's I drove had the bulldog on the hood but said Mack nowhere else and the Sterlings had that center grill trim taken off. I seen a brand new F750 straight truck the other day and it had that whole big chrome piece taken off the sides where it would have said F750.

    But speaking of cabovers and ups I road tested in one of these when I made the jump from the warehouse to driving. Screenshot_20190920-121106.png
