I was recently given a Lionel 783 Hudson (6-8406) from 1984.  It appears that a previous owner swapped the original pilot truck with a scale truck.  While I like the looks of the scale truck, it constantly derails on my layout.  I am looking to replace the scale truck with an original truck, but can find no information as far as a part number.  Does anyone have any idea where I might find an original pilot truck or the part number for one?

Thanks in advance for your help!

This doesn't answer your question, for which I apologize.  But I wonder what kind of track you are using with your 783?  FasTrack?  And what is your minimum curve radius?  I ask because I wonder if a closer-to-scale pilot truck might work on my FasTrack layout.

I'm using Gargraves track with Ross switches. 042 curves.
