This ad features some old school photo retouching that is visible on the truck hanger and “action-bolt” head. The baseplate is pretty unique looking. Skateboarders worldwide rejoiced when “conventional truck flopping” ended…
ANNOUNCING A MAJOR ENGINEERING BREAKTHROUGH INTRODUCING NEW DIMENSIONS TO THE SPORT OF PRECISION SKATEBOARDING
PITTSBURGH SKATEBOARD TRUCKS
ADVANCED DESIGN UTILIZES THE MOST MODERN MANUFACTURING METHODS AND TECHNIQUES. ENGINEERED FOR GREATER CONTROL AND SAFETY-MACHINE TESTED FOR LONG LIFE. PATENT PENDING
PITTSBURGH QUALITY PERFORMANCE New skateboard truck design incorporates a compression action system which functions independently of the rider’s weight, to deliver a smooth an uniform performance. This system also employs a controlled turning axis which eliminates conventional truck flopping through the entire range of adjustment for truck action. Built-in suspension ride support totally isolates the axle housing from truck base to cushion shock, suppress noise and absorb vibrations.
PITTSBURGH HIGH MANEUVERABILITY Turning system is fully adjustable to provide ease of handling and stability for freestyle, slalom, downhill, speed and trick skateboarding. Truck axle height allows additional ground clearance and will accomodate large diameter wheels without using riser pads. The combination hole mounting pattern is standard and a regular skateboard wrench will adjust truck.
PITTSBURGH EXTRA TOUGHNESS Heavy duty truck design uniformly distributes and supports load which eliminates conventional action-bolt stress. Truck casings are produced from high strength aluminum alloy. All moving parts are prelubricated and made from wear-resistant metal. Large diameter 5/16″ x 5″ axle and race nuts are case hardened chrome plated.
