Hey mate, I really appreciate that, do you have the truck as well?

Yes, I can find a spare truck as well as the wheels.

Sorry but this starting to sound to me that this is something you should get someone else to do for you. I don't believe that anyone can advise you by way of a forum like this how to fit a trailing truck to a chassis it was not designed for. That is a job for an experienced modeller who needs to have the items in his hands and can assess matters for himself.

One way to approach this is to post photos of your chassis and the trailing wheels and ask for suggestions or (long shot) ask if anyone here has tried to mate this particular combination of parts together. It may be that you are the first to attempt it!

A typical way is to drill and tap a hole for a screw, but that is very much dependent on what is there to tap into and whether it fouls the mechanism. It is not really possible to say without seeing the exact arrangements. It may mean lengthening the pivot/swinging arm to clear gears etc. even making a new pony truck out of sheet brass or alternatively fudging it as in the Bachmann Skarloey and having the trailing wheels move from side without swinging. (I think I got that wrong and it is the middle wheels that have lateral play -  anyway same idea.)

Depending on your curves it may even be possible to make it up as a rigid 6-wheel chassis with just the usual side-to-side axle play.
