That board should be hanging on your wall. Get a new board to ride.
Unless you really feel the need to be that "retro" and "hip", there are many boards out there that would be much more fun to ride than that clunker.
Also, mind explaining how exactly it is broken? With all the knowledge on the fish I'm sure someone has an idea about how to piece it back together.

Thanks for the disclaimer of not being a dick before you went ahead and were a dick anyway.

I don't care at all about being retro, hip or anything else. The only thing I have owned longer than this is a Sega Megadrive, and I bought this when I was 7 or 8. This is my childhood!

I could do. I can't find trucks that are for the type of wheels that you mount and then pour the bearings in, but I can find ones that fit new-style wheels/bearings by the bucketload, but are the same size. I'll keep you guys posted, whichever route I take

Re: Broke this today :(
slap some Tracker 1/2 Traks on it or ACS 500's and ride it gently. And I agree with the G...no more kick flips

Re: Broke this today :(
I found a new old stock truck for $23.64 that will work. Are you saying that the threads are stripped on the base plate? Or did you crack the plate? I still think I can fix it!!

Re: Broke this today :(
Really??
Frantic search!?!
I know that setup was the bomb and all (pfttt) but c'mon.
Upgrade to the Walmart Spongebob deck and shred on.
Lots of people throw away there old junk when it breaks. You should try that.

A cheap walmart board isn't the same as a mans vintage prized childhood possession.
Most people have prized possessions from their childhood they like to keep, and are willing to try and fix if they break.

What are you doing on the vintage board if you think old junk isn't worth saving?

Re: Broke this today :(

This is what you want. The trucks are from the original CO, that come up with the trucks. I think you can mount these your self.

Re: Broke this today :(
The guys that have tried to help (like griffin, Ec, string) are why people enjoy this site. 
Some of you other dudes need to check the attitude and have some compassion. I wish I still have some of my childhood boards.
Sorry that happened and I hope you can find some replacement parts.
