    Have you driven 9800 COE with flat floor? I used to have 98 FLA86... did not have a flat floor and ride sucked as the cab did not have any airbags. Wanted to see if 9800 is any improvement? Argosy rides nice, nothing like older COE models. Is 9800 any better? Cab airbags? Noisy comparing to other late 90s trucks?
    Thank you

    I test drove an Eagle with the 110” cab about 10 miles. It had a short wheelbase but still seemed similar to my ‘98 T800 and better than my ‘86 359. I put down a deposit to buy but the seller changed the price. Been looking ever since that was ~5 yrs ago. Maybe I made a mistake but the seller kind of ticked me off. I remember it shifted hard....maybe because of all the linkages between the stick and the trans

    Yep. A big bunk Eagle? Wheelbase? trans? Tire size? Location etc etc. A 97 is better to get away from ABS but beggars can’t be choosers
