Has anyone swapped trucks on a P2k GP with P2K Alco trucks?
Tips?

They are a direct interchange, snap off the worm covers on the Blombergs and they fall right off, then put in the AAR B type or "ALCO" trucks and done.

I just swapped sideframes with a set of Athearn AAR B's when I did mine.

Yes, I just swapped out the side frames only, no truck swap.
