Wow that will help quite a lot. I thought about the wall thickness and how it would throw off dimensions and that I would have to account for it in the design of the parts. And the axles May just use commercial parts and design the trucks around pre existing wheel sets. Mounting of the trucks as you said would be scale specific(I would strive to have 2 versions one for truck mounted couplers and body mounted option for the scale modelers).
I did find some door names: wagner, Evens, Superior, Box car end door, Youngstown, Thrall, and Trinity.
It is a start, I am thinking of just doing parts for myself and if skill improves maybe for others as well who knows maybe even a kit or two.
