Okay, I found out a little bit too late (already ordered new trucks) that the problem with the trucks and my new deck is the deck, not trucks. But, no biggie, now I have new trucks coming, but anyway, the holes on my new deck are not big enough to match up with my trucks, so I need to redrill the holes t be 1/4" wide, cause now they are a titch thinner than that, so how would I goa bout doing that, just drill from the top right through on all of the holes? I already have griptape on it, so is it okay to do that?

um, the deck isnt a problem unless it's a weird ass deck or something, but you have a toy machine, and make sure the kingpins are pointing in, not out.. if that is your problem you are a true, 100%, warm-blooded, silly head.

ROFL! WARM-BLOODED SILLY HEAD?

Don't drill your deck. Not wise idea.

Okay, can someone do me a favor and measure the width of the holes on a deck for me? Just how wide the hole is that you put your bolt through. Thanks.

Put your trucks on and line it up just right and mark it.

I redrill my decks all the time, usually to increase wheelbase. Doesn't hurt a thing. Do what bmmetcalf suggested.
