Eric,
Just a side note: You can easily remove the old coupler mounting boss on the premier 2/3 rail truck by unbolting them. I only learned this after cutting MANY off. LOL
Thank you for doing this! I cannot wait to get my hands on a set!

Mine were definitely part of the main casting, it turns out, and not removable:

Before:

After removal:

I really like the design of the 3/2 trucks, for the most part. I love that you can disassemble them almost completely for cleaning or maintenance (or for attacking with a hacksaw... ) Very serviceable. The only thing I dislike is the exposed gears on the side, which tend to pick up crud over time.
