Product Description
The Gullwing Shadow DLX truck is an old-school truck with a modern feel. If you want something with proper 1980s quality but that can handle modern street skating, this is the truck for you.
The Gullwing trucks have been a staple in longboarding for years. They are known for their stability and comfortable ride. They also come in unique colorways so that you never have to settle for trucks that don’t coordinate with your setup.
The 356 Aluminum and Chromoly axle have become the gold standard of the truck industry and have proven themselves through years of use and abuse. This heat-treated aluminum cannot be die-cast and is responsible for the strength and familiar grind characteristics you should expect from a quality truck.
Charger trucks feature a 6-hole baseplate for old-school or new-school mounting so you are good no matter what board you want to shred and come with 89A conical bushings.
Specifications:
- Width: 8.5"
- Truck Mount: Standard/Mid
- Baseplate Angle: NA
- Geometry: Traditional
- Construction: Cast
- Hole Pattern: 6-Hole
- Rake: NA
- Bushing Shape Duro: Short Cone/Barrel (89a)

Truck Tip!
Remember to purchase hardware (the nuts and bolts that attach your trucks to your board) for your skateboard longboard.
Additionally, consider adding riser pads or spacers to improve your ride quality by absorbing shocks and increasing clearance.

Gullwing Shadow DLX 8.5" Blue/Blue Skateboard Trucks | Set of 2 - Key Questions Answered
What kind of rider are these trucks best for?
They suit riders who want stable, predictable turning more than a super loose or twitchy feel. The 8.5" hanger works well for street, cruising, and park laps where clean control matters.
Are these a good choice if I’m newer to skating?
Yes, the steadier steering can make learning turns and carving feel less jumpy. That helps newer riders build confidence without fighting overly reactive trucks.
How does the ride feel compared with more responsive trucks?
Expect a more deliberate, controlled carve instead of quick, nervous turning. That makes lines feel easier to hold in bowls, mini ramps, and smooth cruising.
Will the 8.5" size work for my setup?
If you ride an 8.5" deck or want a stable, all-around geometry, this is a solid match. It gives a balanced feel without making the board feel overly wide or sluggish.
Why pick these over similar trucks in the same price range?
You’re getting a control-focused upgrade from a long-running skate brand at a reasonable price. It’s a practical middle ground if you want better consistency without paying for a premium niche feel.

Trippy assym setup with Rogue ZM1's and assorted wheels really rips for downhill! I also hope to run cones with it soon.

Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Well built and super fun to skate on. Wheels work well on imperfect pavement and sidewalk cracks. Bearings are legit.

They were more than helpful and the process of getting help, ordering the board, and then delivery was flawless. I am excited with my purchase and am thrilled with the customer service along the way. Top notch!

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain.
Definitely a kick and worth trying.
