What's the best way to connect a Lionel prewar and postwar car?

I wanted to connect my prewar and postwar cars for mixed era trains but I'm not sure of the best way to go about doing it. I don't want to use the TT-100 adapter because I'll be mainly using these trains on the 4H modular layout in which the track is in overall poor condition and modern knuckles come detached quite easily especially at moderate to high speeds. Regardless of that, what I think I might do is take a prewar truck assembly and attach it onto a postwar boxcar. Since some of them have the same pieces that fit the small stub on the top of the truck into the car frame and the horseshoe shaped ring goes around that. (I'm not aware of what the parts are properly called)

Just wanted some opinions on easier ways of doing this. Besides the TT-100 method as I already explained.
