Rob,
I didn't look closely enough at the pic you had posted, and I overlooked the fact that you have truck mounted couplers. I would look closely at what Jim Currie did. Relocate the couplers so they are body mounted, but I would still go with the longer shank ones. Some company, and google is your best bet here, as I have to get my kids up and off to daycare I don't have enough time to search, makes 6 wheel trucks that have a blind wheelset.
If you have uneven spots in the track, like Russ said, you will need to address that. You can also loosen the screw that holds the truck in place, which will allow it to handle small bumps better, but not if the couplers remain truck mounted.

Don't follow me, I'm lost too.
