Great deck! I haven’t been in the market for skate stuff for a long time so when you said ‘cruiser’ I assumed it was going to be a chopped down longboard, maybe cambered with a pintail or swallowtail, but not that. I look at that AH deck and it says ‘vert skating’ to me.
So, if you were to get regular wide trucks and use wedged risers, you’ll get all the turn you need and clearance for big wheels (and later you can de-wedge and convert it for skating transition with smaller/harder wheels). Go onnn, do iiit.
Edit: 60mm wheels. Yeah. Regular trucks with some positive wedge for turns. I dunno whether the reverse kingpin trucks are still as high as they were back when it was a choice between a Randal 150 or a Randal 180, but I think keeping the board as low as possible is worth doing.
