Hi I am looking for 6 mount plates for trucks on quad hoppers . They are metal plate that are hinged in the front and one screw in the back. If anybody has them I am willing to buy. And I have paypal. Thanks Crash.440

I can not believe know one has or know where to get these plates. At times like this I really miss Box car Bill, Cause I could call Bill Lewis and have them in my hand within a few days. So again I ask does anybody know where I can get these from or have some for sale . Thanks Again Crash.440 AKA Butch
Do you mean 6446-6 truck frame?
In my experience, that is a tough part to find. When I wanted a few to replace rusty ones, it took me quite a while to come across them. I found mine in the White hall at the York show.
I see them on the last parts list I downloaded from S&W.
(I didn't know about S&W when I wanted them)
Thanks for answering me I will check with S&W tomorrow and if you have the rusted ones I am interested in them, I am not a collector So a little rust does not matter to me. Let me know and again Thank You for answering my question. Butch. P.S. Do they have the step built in ?
The step is part of the truck frame. I didn't save the rusty ones.
Bill is the owner of S&W. If you have any questions about whether they are the correct part for your application, I suggest giving him a call. I believe he publishes his number on his web page.
I couldn't find one for one of mine, so I made one from some sheetmetal until I stumble onto one.
Thanks everybody including you C.W. , Bill did not have the steel ones but he had the plastic ones so I went ahead and bought them. Thanks Again Crash.440 aka Butch
I have at least 6 of the metal quad hopper truck plates that you are welcome to. Just send me a UPS pre- paid label and I will send them to you. Contact infomation is in my profile.
Some still have the truck rivets in them, which will have to be removed to attach the trucks. You will also need the small screw to attach the plate to the hopper body.
