B3 trucks, Hall industries originally -- although swaps during
overhaul with older B3s are possible. Apparently enough B3s were
purchased to equip all the cars slated for conversion -- 1730, a city
car, had the B2Bs replaced with B3s.
*Heard* some electrical gear changed to solid state -- don't know
what and why -- maybe battery chargers, etc. As Boris will tell
us, need the schematics to know what was changed -- IFZ changes took
place.
