Kryptonics rips on wheels with “cute” names. I see Sims Snakes, OJ’s, Bones, Bennett Alligators, and G&S Yo-Yos. This plants are probably a reference to Weed Wheels. What about that Cylon Raider spaceship? UFO? Is the Snake coming out of a Tunnel?
ACS 800 and LITE II
Radical New Wide Trucks
Rick and Dale know –
Their letter arrived just as the plans for the new ACs trucks were being completed.
Gentleman:
We think your acs. Lite trucks are one of hottest trucks around.
We are hoping that you are working on an acs. Lite that will fit the new 10 inch boards. Will you please drop us a letter telling us what’s happening at the acs. Factory. thank you for your time sincerely yours,
Dale Witmer

Dear Dale and Rick.
Yes, we are working on a new wide truck – the Lite I and ACS 800, both with 8 inch axles. Since you were interested enough to write, here are the details.
Because wide trucks cause extra stress at the to and cushior support areas, these areas are “beefed up”.
There’s a high grinder bar that will prevent king pin hangups, as well as extend hanger life.
A new base plate design provides a smooth rear truck transition from the skateboard deck to the bottom of the lower cushion and cup washer.
The axle is grade 8 alloy steel.
Lite II, made of Ultralite alloy (over 90% magnesium) will be lighter than conventional mid-width trucks.
The ACS 800 is heat
treated aluminum. Both have undergone extensive design, testing and modication to insure they wil withstand al the punishment hot riders can give them.
Doug “Pineapple” Saladino and Steve Cathey were our chief testers and consultants. Making a truck to satisfy their requirements has been a real challenge and worthwhile project.
They’ll satisfy you, too. Watch for the new ACS trucks in ’79.
Sincerely,
Amy Stephens
Customer Relations
Steve and “Pineapple” know –
They’ve been testing suggesting and watching development of these great new trucks
Now Everybody Knows –
You can trust ACS to build a better truck
800 and Lite II Worth waiting for!
