I used a 2004 coupler. I belive I had either reused the Bachmann screw/hole or I filled in the area infront of the screw hole with styrene and drilled/tapped the MTL screw hole. You may have to file the front of the truck gearcase and/or the back of the couler a bit to make it fit.
There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away
