Default Mountain Boards in a more classic skate style

I remember years, years ago, probably about 10 years ago, I was in Monterey, Ca, and saw some traditional looking trucks you can mount on any skateboard deck. They were pretty tall, and were sold with some beefy inflatable wheel/tire combos.

I was wondering if there's anything like that still around, that I can mount onto a standard skate deck. I did find one thing, but am looking for other options, including cheaper ones.

What I found was Rampage conversion kits http://home.earthlink.net/~rossntwk/rampageMB/

I am emailing them to see if they're still up and everything, but like I said, options are good

First poast btw. hello

Seen some on e-Bay. Don't know if they're any good.

Both MBS and GI (Ground Industries) offer a Skateboard style truck. Might work for your application (wider not taller)?

Edit (on e-Bay):
Like this?



Item No. 140166539831

Or this?



Item No. 250174999894

oohh i get deals on MBS, though that isn't listed, I'll have to give them a call. And if I go the ebay route, I'll be sure to put up a review


edit: Those pics look a lot like what I vaguely remember (it was awhile ago)


Those ebay wheels look cheap and plasticy, but they might work, at least until I get replacements. I might give it a shot, for the price
