Not that anybody really gave a sh*t about this thread in the first place but khiro makes pivot bushings that fit gullwing pro series 3. Now I got myself a bad a$$ pair of oldschool trucks. Anyways I hope this helps someone.

I give a s#!t man. I love to restore old school parts.

Check it, the Indy 169's in this pic (on the left side) are over 8 years old. They came with my first longboard in 99.

They were out of use after about 2 years, and put away. Last fall I resurrected them. I put new bushings in, replaced all the nylock nuts, the bushing cup, speed rings, the king pin and the pivot bushings.

They are amazing trucks. Better quality than more recent Indy's for sure, and the OEM baseplates are drilled old and new school!

You have a pic of the Gullwings? Love to see them.

I know that place and its pretty badass, but they didn't have the pivot bushings I needed. I have a Neo as well.

Just so you all know I have one set of the original cups for the gullwings pro 3's. It's fun to bring a old pair of trucks back to life. Sometimes it seems that the trucks work better than when they did when they were new. I just picked up a pair of Indy hangers. I had the base plates and now I have a set of original mid 90's Indy's 139's used old school holes trucks. These trucks look almost like new. There's more than just this in my collection of spare parts. They range from the 70's to today.
Thanks,

Its funny I was riding on my gulls when the cups rotted out, I thought I forgot how to skate before I realized they were gone, I was like, " what the hell is wrong with me" my board was all over the road. They ride amazing now.

If anyone is looking for 1970's replacement hardware for your old school skateboards. I have these available for sale.

Thanks
