It's actually not too much work to move the trucks closer to the car's ends.  All that's required is new bolsters of a thickness similar to the ones on the underframe...it could be a full-width one, or simply a built-up square (or strip) of styrene.  Drill holes for the screws, and, in most cases, simply install the trucks...the screws will generally cut their own threads in the plastic.
I'm going to be modifying an 80' Rivarossi diner into a 70' (or maybe shorter) baggage car, but that will involve segmenting the floor, then re-assembling it to get proper placement on the truck bolsters.
