Info

Test fit trucks to check clearances from truss rods. Inner rods maybe bent slightly to increase clearance, if required. Turn your car over onto its test trucks and check clearances with the car mounted on a section of track. Using a small knife blade or file, cut a section of the decking away from the stake pockets, as shown in the photo above. This will allow stakes to be installed in the pockets, if required. Normal stakes are usually 4”x4” posts, tapered at the base.
Referring to drawing sheets 3 and 4, drill holes for the bolster to side sill mounting bolts and glue in eight NBW castings, as shown. That's it for this chapter. The next chapter will include: Selecting and installing trucks. Selecting and installing couplers. Installing brakes and rigging.
