The converted car would represent a 60's car. I would imagine that the
trucks were changed when the Allied full cushion trucks could not be used in
interchange.

Am I correct that the version converted to freight with roofwalk,
etc. represents a 1960's car? Also, when were the A3 trucks put on
the car? Mid 50's?
Thanks.
