Truck Replacement for AHM wrecking crane

I replaced the wheelsets with Intermountain metal wheels on my Bachman and Athearn 200 ton cranes. I cut off the talgo couplers and body mounted Kadee #5 knuckle couplers. The Athearn crane was set up as being steam powered, so I removed the smoke stack & installed a diesel stack & air intake louvers. BTW, the Intermountain axles fit the trucks tight enough that the wheels would stay in the journals but still roll freely. I think the AHM trucks are about the same width because I have a bunch of old AHM cars with the Intermountain wheelsets. Tweet.
