I'd love to have a museum of old trucks. Those Tracker ultra lights were real popular when I was 10 (1986). I couldn't dig them at all. I had indy 169s on a giant Rob Roskopp. In hindsight though I wish I would have tried more trucks as a young guy. G & S trucks looked so weird but interesting. I never tried grind king either. That inverted kingpin made it look like a kids toy to me for some reason.
I still remember that fateful day that Mike McGill Convinced me to set up my Corey O'Brien with plastic baseplated Trackers... bastard.
All I can say, any time I've tried a truck that isn't from the Indy Family tree, I've regretted it horribly. Indy, Thunder, Ace for me. I'd ride Krux or Venture if I had to but thats it. Never tried lows of any form, never plan on it. I'm not opposed to hollow trucks and forged base plates but they've never helped me from what I can tell.
Although anodized Stage Vs were great and Ace Copper trucks often tempt me I can't do coloured trucks or truck graphics, silver, raw, maybe black.
88a Indy aftermarkets, stock Thunder whites and Krux bushings only. I always keep the washers on. Risers can often make certain trucks turn better. Wide and loose is how I like them. Axle width ALWAYS within +/- 1/4" of deck width.
That's all I've got from 30+ years of skateboarding.
I give a lot of used skate stuff away but never trucks. I'm saving all my Thunders/ Indys that have the Made in USA stamp on them... not sure why but I'm compelled to.
