Probably gone by the early 70s

This is covered in the PFE book by Thompson, Church & Jones if you have access to a copy.

Similar ACF cars were integrated into the Espee fleet in the early 1970s, per info here:

F-70-17 Flat Cars (railfan.net)

I suspect the G85 cars were gone around the same timeframe.
