Caboose trucks, what is correct?

Greetings,

I have an Atlas Conrail extended vision caboose.   It's trucks are missing.   I went to the Atlas web site and they are not listed as in stock.  They are part number 22060 with king pins 302515.   What would be the appropriate Microtrains trucks to replace them.  The caboose's body mount couplers are intact.  The MT website PDF file did not list a truck conversion.

Thank you,
Bobster

Stick with the Atlas trucks, especially since they are available at MBK.  They provide the correct ride-height and the bolster hole is properly centered.
