All three trucks on the articulated chair cars were two axle, four wheel triple bolster trucks (two Class 4-TC-6 end trucks with the center truck being a Class 4-TCA-2, in SP speak). The two types were identical except for a modified center bolster on the center truck to accommodate the articulated hinge and larger bearings.
The triple-unit diners for the Coast and Shasta Daylights, the Cascade and the unique Lark Clubs had three axle, six wheel center trucks (Class 6-TCA-1). These were pretty much standard "Commonwealth" friction bearing trucks with 4 brake cylinders on each truck. Hope all that TMI helps.
