I think Life-Like equips their low-end rolling stock with knuckle couplers, but kept the original truck mount made for the horn-hook couplers.

May or may not help, just pointing them out!

If the hight of the coupler is right then you could use an Athearn or MDC coupler (or bachmann ez couplers) with one of the KD bushings.
