One of my third graders brought in, of all things, this MPC era hopper body today and attempted to give it to me knowing that I like trains. I'd prefer to get some trucks installed and give it back to him. I don't know how many pristine LCCA cars are left from 1980. Does anyone have any background on this car, and does anyone have a link to some good trucks we can install? Thank you for your time.

This is the MPC era 6-9358 car. search ebay and you will find a number of them for sale. They used plastic trucks if I remember correctly so you should be able to find some cheap trucks if you want to salvage it.
PS- must be a sweet kid!
Cool car
Bob here is the lionel plastic trucks that will work on that car cs-6109150050-p or you can use the diecast trucks cs-6-14078
It's missing the brackets. Just buy one off eBay, and give it to the kid. Cheaper, and easier than buying trucks and brackets, and paying shipping. 6-9358
That's actually a very nice car.
