Can you please ask all of you're questions in one thread?

Any brand name trucks will be fine. Independent, Ventures, Thunders, Silver, Grind King, Tensors, ect.

size of trucks depnd on the size of board. once you know the size of your board, let us know. as for type. just go with indies. might as well skip the BS and ride indys. youll eventually use them anyways.

^^^ is a 215mm indy truck. which is for 10" or higher. the 169s are 9.5"to 10".

get the 215mm's. those axles are exactly 10".

Plastic ones tend to work the best for me, the only problem is I shred through them like no other. They're for sale at Wal Mart for like $15 bucks, and you get free wheels, bearings, and a Disney deck, too!

The size depends on the width of the board. It has to be the exact same width as the deck. My personal favourites are Destructo and Independents. Both are great trucks and last ages. Destructo's have a guarantee which lasts a certain time, and depending on how screwed up the truck is, they will probably send you a new set. They're damn strong trucks. Indies are great too.

Cheers!
