I have acquired a few IHC Passenger cars and looking to re-truck them. Does anyone have any suggestions on trucks for these cars?

I just switched my IHC passenger cars couplers to NMRA standard from the orig. hook and horn style. I did so by just unclipping the arm of the coupler from the mounting pin and attaching the McHenry 42s to the same mounting pin. Easy and the cars handle better than they probably would with the body mount couplers. Added weight to each car as well. Switched out the plastic wheels for 36" flat back metal wheels. Marvelous, except the frames are pretty brittle, so be careful.You can just cut off the coupler arm flush with the truck and body mount a Kadee coupler on the end of the car.
