You can google what you want. I just did and got a bunch of hits. If you want to buy from someone on this list then you’ll need to do what ROCKSTARS1989 suggested.

Actually, I think I know what the OP means. Lionel die cast sprung trucks with pick up rollers are hard to find. There’s a plastic part that goes on the die cast sprung truck, and that plastic part holds the pick up roller. Very simple, but Lionel didn’t use it much. I found them under a modern era poultry car. This was many years ago, but maybe it will help your hunt?

Here’s what they look like.

I took my trucks off a 6-19819 poultry car. I searched poultry car on eBay and found this. Maybe Lionel also used them under other cars, but I remember searching for awhile to find the trucks I have.

 6-14251... The 'claw' is longer, for a caboose (?),  than the regular die-cast sprung trucks, but you should be able to make it work...
