anyone ever seen a set in the wild..or maybe even skate a set?
i remember seeing them in skate mags in the 80s
square bottom bushing....and hangers were similar to Ranalli's and the paint was like grey/black speckled. |

I too have only seen them in ads and was curious as to what they were like to ride.
Been keeping my eyes pealed for a set for some time now but have yet to see a pair offered. |

I think they came in many colors, this ad shows the hammertone/crackle looking paint. Looks like they were made by the company that made all those Elephant skate tools.
I think I saw a set once... |

I was going to go through Thrasher archives to see if there was a different ad for them, but lost interest quickly |

| I bought a few boards from Willamette sports shown in that ad, and got my first pro complete from the shop just a couple blocks away by the bowling alley, can't remember if it was Willamette Skateshop at a different location or a different shop |

Here's a pair of Ranger Trucks.
I think these are made from mostly steel, not aluminumuminum.
