As said nice order , nowadays with import duty etc it’s hardly worth buying from overseas nowadays , I used to buy a few completes from USA and even with shipping on and sometimes you had to pay duty and sometimes you didn’t I’ve had a few Logan’s earth skis with trucks and kryptonics on for 50 quids in past which even with shipping and stuff were still a lot cheaper than here but back then the 70s skateboards didn’t hardly fetch much on USA ebay but now it’s as dear as here

is that 10" version a real wasp or is it just a different hanger fitted to a wasp baseplate? i cant believe ive never seen a single one like it or even an advert if its genuine,i thought they packed up long before wide trucks came about

they cleaned up well,its always nice to have originally painted/coated trucks as it helps hides any marks,looks a nice finish
