From Stagner and Yanosey’s “UP Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment”,
It appears that the yellow flats GENERALLY had mineral red trucks. There were some with aluminum trucks. And an awful lot of them had yellow overspray on the trucks.
The photos in this book are all official UP photos, and tend to show cars as new.

One more question: almost “yellow cars” of UP in 70 and 80’s had silver trucks, Did these flats have this colored trucks?

Something else I will need to add to my flat car. I am planning to do some more work on the car on Sunday on my day off.
