Step 4Install the trucks
Depending on the width of your board, you want to make sure that the outside wheels are roughly 30 inches apart. Measure twice for each truck that you install. Ensure that they are roughly 30 inches from outer wheel to outer wheel, but also make sure that they are the proper distance from the front of the board. If you make a mistake here, it is difficult to go back, and the board may pull to one side or another.
Once you are certain of your measurements and truck placements, it is time to do the marking of the drill locations. Use a pencil to mark in each truck hole, and remove the truck. Do this for each truck.
Use your drill to slowly drill through each whole. When finished with each truck, insert each bolt (from the bottom (or top of the board) so that the nuts are placed on the truck-side of the board. Once each bolt is on, ensure that the truck fits properly. Now move to the next truck and repeat.
Once all trucks holes are drilled, add truck, bolts, washers and lock nuts and tighten.
