it would be so dope if more brands would make mag trucks other than tensor and probably no one else rn.
Venture used to. It gets overlooked a bit nowadays but they really were the most innovative truck company of their time.
I was watching that thrasher China Banks feature the other day and I thought it was a cool little detail that basically the only way they could grind that fucked up ledge was with magnesium ventures. I know it's hard to swallow paying twice as much for trucks that last half as long but there really is nothing that quite compares when it comes to grinding concrete.
It is funny you say that because I have been pulling things apart for people for years, mainly just the plain polished standard Indy / team Thunders. Some shops I know have done the same and just kept the bits hidden behind the counter, but most people are a bit afraid to start doing that in case they get left with a heap of parts they can't sell.
I figured someone would need a hanger here or a baseplate there, so it all adds up, sometimes even single hangers or baseplates, but often pairs of them, when and where people needed them. Some shops do sell single trucks, although more often than not places try to keep them together as pairs, which makes sense, as there would often be a weird colourway or size left in various cabinets over the years.
I also have a whole lot of used parts which are more common on rotation, if someone has 149s and wants to try 159s or something, which is handy.
Once you start to get into the older parts it can get a bit tricky though, but I still have quite a few single older Indy hangers of varying sizes, as well as a few other awesome single (NOS) complete trucks from most brands, which are more museum pieces nowdays.
