"Bob, there are two issues in this thread, one is the CB&Q Andrews truck, which is a 40 ton truck, and the other is the PRR Crown truck (resembles Andrews but larger) which is a 70 ton truck (Crown also made 100 ton trucks for gondolas and hoppers). The Q didn’t use 70 ton trucks under stock cars. Besides Andrews 40 ton trucks, the CB&Q used Barber double truss lateral motion spring plank 40 ton trucks on some SM-18 stock cars. I don’t have information on the SM-19 stock cars immediately available, but I’m pretty sure they had 40 ton trucks, probably double truss spring plankless on most cars, but I have one photo of a SM-19A with Andrews 40 ton trucks taken in the 1960s (3-6?, the second digit of reweigh date isn’t legible). It has the modernized lettering, and probably Chinese Red paint (hard to tell because it’s heavily weathered). Chinese Red wasn’t used until 1959, so that supports a 1960s photo data. I don’t think the CB&Q ever used Crown trucks."
