Hi,

Welcome!!  Argosy is an Airstream.  It's almost identical to regular 
Airstreams, except the end caps are steel not aluminum.  They were less 
expensive models... Like Bentley is to Rolls Royce (c:  Rumor has it they 
were made with "stained" aluminum so they painted them.   I think they are 
neat, my first Airstream was an Argosy.

With your truck you should be able to pull anything Airstream makes except 
the new 34 footers which go 10,000 pounds.
