Did Lionel produce a GP-9 (or GP-7) with six wheel trucks? I am trying to finish a project with my son and found a donor on Ebay that is claimed to be a GP-9 chassis but it has six wheel trucks. I spent some time researching it on the internet and couldn't find an example of such a model, but I certainly could have missed it. Thanks for any help in advance.
The GP 7/9 had 4 wheel trucks. The SD 7/9 had 6 wheel trucks.

I checked and it definitely looks like the SD-7/9 you mentioned. You saved me some potential aggravation and expense -- thank you very much.
Yep 6 wheel trucks were used on GPs and that made them SDs

They also need a shorter fuel tank.
