Lionel F3 front/rear trucks swappable?

I was looking over the trucks closely and was thinking these can be swapped around with exception to (2) rivits holding the rear car coupler on. Can these be swapped around?

I just looked at an F-3 that is partially disassembled, and I agree, it looks like you could swap the trucks. Buy why do you want to do this?

Rear trucks on ebay go a lot cheaper than the fronts. I would like to start stocking up on spare parts / assemblies to keep my F3 running for a lifetime.
