Stoker trucks advert

again great ad

the prices of these have gone through the roof lately,they are definately the most adjustable truck of their time,we could only dream of them back then, i dont remember seeing anyone riding them round here ever they were just far too expensive. i set mine up last year on a board as i had never ridden any and they were awful the springs were far too flimsy,they probably would have been fine if i weighed 8 stone still i think you could get stiffer springs for them though but have never seen any for sale

excellent youve found the different springs, now we just need to find a dealer with some in stock

these also have a unique bolt pattern so your deck needs a redrill as all 4 mounting holes are different,even the front and rear holes arent mirror images,not ideal if its a fibreflex

I never knew that nearly bought a couple of sets down the years one set was £350 and other £400 I was just a bit skint at the time they were for sale

yeah the good old days when prices were just expensive and not extortionate

you can just about see the differences,theyre a great looking truck,id love another pr sometime but with the prices the way they are its not going to happen

prototype

im going to see if i can get hold of another pair if i can find some for sensible money ever

Nice nos set on eBay recently, thought I’d got them but was outbid with about 3 secs to go.was it anyone on here who bought them . Went for around £650

yeah i saw those,thought they went for a decent price, i got hold of some more a while back otherwise id have had a bid too

Yes mega cool trucks probably crap to ride but cool all the same
