The worst couplers for being truck-mounted are the NMRA/X2f type (or horn-hook) because of the sideways springing which causes the trucks to skew.
I prefer body-mounting, but a lot of my (British) coaches have structural bits of the trucks where the coupler boxes would have to go. Because the plastic is flexible, taking off the bit across the end allows the sideframes to spread.
