Title: What stage are these Indy trucks?
Post by: poodude on November 21, 2022, 09:25:58 AM

I have an old pair of Indy trucks from the late 90s-early 2000s. Anyone know what stage they are and how they compare to modern stage 11s? They still skate quite nice.

They look like Stage 8 to me, but the difference between 7 and 8 are minor and hard to distinguish.

Pretty sure stage 8 is when they added the cross to the front of the baseplate, so guessing 8s.

Do they have the hex or the button kingping had? Early stage 8 had the hex still, but the button head kingpins were introduced quite soon in stage 8s.

8s for sure. 7s don't have the cross on the baseplate and the 8 hanger is slightly skinnier
