Looking for best H0scale Allied Full Cushion trucks

Hello friends,

I have a ATSF Bx-Fe-24 (at least I think so) 50' steel box car with inferior trucks which I need to replace. A lot of these cars rode on Allied Full Cushion trucks, so I would like to use them on that model. But I wonder which are the best available? My standard is the quality offered by TAHOE, and I am looking to get something close.

Many thanks for any advice,
and many greetings

I like the Athearn trucks.  These are recent tooling and NOT legacy MDC or Blue Box.

Many thanks, Ben! Indeed these look right - no end brake shoes, but cross bars between truck sides. I will try them.
Thanks again and greetings
