Your friend is a little off..

C-140, C-170, C-180, C-185 are conventional (tailwheel) aircraft

C-150, C-152, C-172, C-182 are tricycle (nosewheel) aircraft, except thethose with the RG designation, which means retractable gear.

In other words, there is no way to know for sure what type gear the aircraft has by looking at the last number of the type.
