Need help identifying rolling stock

I have many older box cars, tank cars, etc that are set up with the old horn and hook style couplers. For sentimental reasons, I really want to keep these cars, but want to upgrade the couplers to knuckle style. Not really interested in Kaydee version, just knuckles.
