    I'm gonna say it's probably a glider. The only way you can order a brand new argosy now, is in a glider. The argosy does not have big enough cooling system to handle the bigger horsepower emision engines.

    Sounds like a plan. I'm not a big fan of the argosy but being that it's a new glider would probley make some one an excellent truck!!

    argosy is not your cabover from 70s or 80s with a big dog house and cab mounted direct to a frame. they ride almost as good as conventionals and not very noisy.

    Really? 1650 square inches isn't enough?
