Very interesting..... This looks like a classic example of rebuilding a "car number" into something totally new. I wonder about the second hand trucks. The trucks on the 6000 clas flats that are still around are standard 3'7" arch bars with outside hung brakes, nothing like the longer inside hung brake trucks under the 6300's. There might have been a few items of hardware saved off the original car, but nothing of significance.
