Here is an article written by Steve Sandifer that is a review of an HO brass model of 29. 
http://old.atsfrr.org/resources/Sandifer/29/Index.htm

Note at the end he says:
Quote
An elevation drawing of the car (1917) from the Richard Sholz collection is is in the Society Business car book as in a floor plan (1944) for your assistance. The elevation leaves off many details.

So you might want to take a look at the business car book- even if the drawings are not adequate, there might be other info that could give you a lead on the trucks.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

I have the drawings and have seen all of the available pics. 

The drawing shows Archbar trucks.

None of the pics show archbars, hence the query.

Really, I'm looking for the axle spacing and wheel diameter.  Think I can wing the rest.
