Info re megatron trucks post em up pics,interesting info how to date whatever

Early megatron trucks I’d say 1977 roughly made in the usa

rare beasts,you dont see many megatrons around which ive always found strange given all the advertising they did back in the day,you would have thought there would be loads of them

I had a set of full track size megatrons back in the 70’s they had a really thick baseplate almost like a build in riser. Very heavy quickly went on my downhill board.

I have two 8” sets now one normal and one Mark Baker signature trucks used but ok.

Got to be one of the coolest names megatron

orig bushes too

advert

That was the type I had , you can make out the thick baseplates in those photos

anyone know where i can get a nice set of the orange megatron logo bushings?

my old ones,sold on now though

Perfect condition though

from 1978 , same as the mark baker signature ones

I still have my 205’s although their days are numbered

Megatron name is well ground off them

theres some mark baker megatrons on ebay at the moment on a complete,look very tidy set too

Can’t find them are they still up ?
