No question makes anyone sound like an idiot...Idiots dont ask questions- intelligent people do!
A glider kit, to my knowledge, is basically a truck without an engine, or sometimes without an engine or a pump. The manufacturer will use the engine, pump, sometimes the frame off an old rig and install new cab and body. As compared to a refurb which just paints up a rig and maybe udgrades some other things such as lighting, electrical and striping, a glider kit refurb is more new truck than old, while a refurb is more old truck than new.
Hope that helps...

Very close, A true glider uses all the major parts from a older rig, engine, pump, transmission,rear axle. Most time they use a new front axle that has better brakes and a greater load rate
