Kay and Wally:
    If you have access to a good welding shop, you should be able to cut
down the larger truck to fit the smaller piano.  I have done this to two
trucks, and it's quite easy.  You just need to measure the legs of the
smaller piano using a yard stick, or two.  Try to find a spot near the
lyre where all the legs measure the same distance to that spot, give or
take a few inches.  You will need to cut the sleeves that the legs slide
into.  Measure from the leg cups to the center of the dolly.  Subtract
the measurement of the piano legs you made.  You will need to cut off
the sleeves by that amount.  Cut off the end that has the hole for the
center plates, and redrill the hole.
    You can email me privately if necessary for further clarification or
questions.
