If it's cast in place, the only way your'e likely to get the remains out without destroying the casting is with an EDM machine. Electrical discharge Mill. Some machine shops that deal with more esoteric stuff will have one. If it's a stud, just center drill it, heat the baseplate, soak some liquid wrench or aero-kroil around it, and use a screw extractor. The tapered square ones (looks like the washington monument)don't expand the stud in the hole, and as such work better.Remember not to lick the baseplate 'til it cools off.

Oldschool Tracker Kingpins

Weren't those things actually cast in place? Or were the studs run in after the base plate was cast? All I know is when the kingpin snapped it was time for a new baseplate. If I remeber right, Tracker guaranteed them for life...you just sent the thing in and they sent you a new one. Wonder if they'd still do that? LOL
Is there really a way to replace the broken kingpins? Would somebody become a patron saint if they develpoed a machining process to cut the old kingpin stub out and inlet the base plate to accept a modern-style (ie, bolt, replaceable) kingpin? Or is there a current Tracker baseplate that is the same as the old ones but with a modern kingpin?

original, original tracker kingpins? the stud ones? they thread into the base, when you look at the part of the base that is bolted to the deck ,it's smooth. If these are the kingpins you need you could try a very good automotive supply, or a machine shop supply,i think it might be a 1.75 length of 3/8-24 threaded rod.You can try to find a source, or make one by cutting the head off a regular kingpin and cutting 3/8-24 thread on the end where the head was. if it's a newer ,more easily replaced kingpin, knock it out , and put a grade 5 or higher ,2.0 inch 3/8-24 bolt , no course 18 thread garbage.

Hi Gary,
I have two I can sell or trade. One is a yellow 27", and it is in excellent condition, but is drilled 4-hole.
The other is a blue 27" and drilled 3-hole (Chicago style). It is also in great shape.
I can email a couple of pics if you like.

Left side is before [I'd already scrubbed em down with a 3M pad once, they were that bad.]
The right side is after. Low light but you get the idea.

Yes, I know he's talkin crap. I've been chastized for being emotional and will now rise above it.
I polished up those Gullwing Pros and here is a pic. I think they came out pretty well all things considered. I used Mothers mag wheel and aluminum polish on em. Put the buffing wheel on the Dremel and went to it. Let me know what you think.

Steve,
The XX wheels went on BoBo's Pleasure Point skater. There they stay.
The deck? He mentioned the trash. Not sure if he was serious or if he stuck it in the closet. He can say later.

SSofS,
I stand corrected ... it's the trucks on the deck that are vintage? How about a pic of the trucks as they were before BoBo started working on them? See below...
My bad. I'm still learning. It's still a very pretty deck. :^)

Found a board in an old building. It is 30" long- 5 1/2" wide. Solid wood deck that is flat and rounded on both ends. It has a set of steel wheels mounted on both ends near the center area and it has a metal brake lever that you step on. It is red with a white lettered logo in the center that says Road Surfer-Then a thunderbird type picture of an eagle? or whatever under that then Soen-Patton Inc. Lancaster, PA. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks - Darvus

The NOS Santa Cruz Dressen in question... it came across the pond from the UK.
NOS Black Bones Cubics are on their way from Hawaii.
We also found NOS Gullwing bushings for the Pro trucks that BoBo is so painstakingly restoring.
It was love at first sight... that goes for the Dressen, too. ;^D
Vans... yeah, that's gonna happen... NOT.
