The 6500's were converted from D&RGW Standard Gauge Gondolas. The Bulkheads were built new for the 6526 and 6527 but they too were "kitbashed" from the same type of Standard Gauge car.
The Trucks were build new for those cars.
Mike Trent has the folio on the Standard Gauge gons that were used. If you need you could e-mail him for it
