[VAC] Re: Argosy end caps

[donhorn@xxxxxxxxxx]

My guess is fiberglass inside, steel outside.  By the time they started making 
Argosys, they had already changed from aluminum to fiberglass for Airstream 
interior end caps, so they probably used it for the interior of Argosys as well 
(?).  

A magnet would confirm whether the cap was steel or not.  And anyone who has 
drilled the inside wall of their trailer to attach accessories should have a 
good idea of what kind of material it was made of, although I think the 
term "end cap" refers to the exterior(?). 

Besides, with Airstream, questions like this often depend on the year and month 
of manufacture, which factory it came from, what parts were available that 
week, what kind of mood the foreman happened to be in that day, what new ideas 
were being tested, etc.

I can only provide guesses and more questions.  Charlie Burke--can you give us 
the definitive answer?
