Balshis posted:Tom Densel posted: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.
