One of them just happened to be the July 97 issue with the Alco article that was mentioned on page 3 of this post. I have scanned the article and here it is....

I wonder if you could save some work by replacing the walkway/pilot portion with that from a C420. It would reduce the number of holes that need to be drilled and already be made for the pilots.

I haven't actually looked at diagrams to see how do-able it is, I just recall from doing the reverse - many years ago when I wanted a decent quality C420, I took the old Lima shell, cut the decks off it, and mounted it to an Atlas C424 walkway and frame/running gear. It worked, it fit although the deck had some bare spots with no tread.

In any case, now I see what all is wrong with my stock C424, so I can make some changes to it.
