There is one exception. The older diesels had the rigid truck frame that lacked the pivot point in the truck sideframe area. I'm ot sure whether this was confined to link couplers or not (anyone?). These older rigid truck frames tend to jump the rails on a jackrabbit start, at least mine does. I have 2 PAs, one was always knuckle with a flexible truck and the other is a knuckle converted from link and has the older rigid truck.
