    Mind you, the Argosy can be ordered with Airliner suspension-same type of suspension you’ll find on any conventional cab Cascadia or Coronado truck.

    Ah, a cabover category. Been reading through a lot of the posts...good memories...I only drove for a couple of periods within a couple year time frame, but always been a cabover fan. The conventionals just don't do it for me. I did try one that my buddy drove--yes it was quiet, smooth, and rode very well, but my old IH "Eagle" type cab rode pretty darned good for me. I always liked being as high up as I could get--way up over top of the wheel so I could really "feel" it. Jacked the air seat up all the way too--that made a lot of sense huh? Haha...only 1 time I really remember complaining...running west somewhere across top of WV area and the road had those friggin' concrete slabs with joints every few feet. Every joint I'd hit I'd bounce my head off the ceiling!! I cussed those roadbuilders the whole time! LOL!! (I think I did finally lower that seat and use a little air at some point that night to keep my sanity)
    Anyhow, here's my latest toy...needs a ton of work but seems to have decent bones...
