I've got a bunch of old trucks that are just collecting dust. Are any companies making reissues with the old school bolt pattern? I remember the first round of Vision reissues had the old pattern. Are they all being made with the new pattern now? |

I stopped by the skate shop yesterday to my surprise they had a Cab Dragon & Bats reissue. I bought it and rushed home to set it up with my old Indys.....It has the new school truck pattern. |

So... I was totally wrong. I'm not sure how I missed this but the Dragon & Bats reissue IS drilled for old school trucks. I went with the OJ III 78a 60mm wheels so the 169's were a little too big. Luckily I had a set of 159's in my stash. Bronson Bearings, 1/4 Vision Psycho risers and Pig rails makes this BAD ASS for cruising around the block with my 12 year old! Thanks obi!

Nope. That's not for me. I tried that once and stress cracks connected the holes. The holes are too close together for someone that likes to eat sandwiches. Finding the right deck fixed my troublems. |

Dry wall spackle in the old holes is enough to prevent the splitting. If you want to get fancy you can use dowels.
