Thanks for the comments 
Nice collection of decks up there, I wish my toy box was still in that condition ...
I am doing OK for the retro bit's, I have found everything I want, in the colours / sizes I want and at pretty good prices :
• NOS black Powel tail bone - correct width for deck and right hole spacing.
• NOS black Santa Cruz cell block III.
• NOS red Santa Cruz cell block truck bushings.
• NOS black (composite plastic) Gullwing Phoenix lightweight base plates (red bushings).
• Generic black front spacer.
I have also acquired some NOS / period correct Santa Cruz and Gullwing decals

I have no tech info from BITD but I am pretty sure they were designed to be a straight swap. They sure look much more chunky but when you check the height of the bushing seat its the same :
So they should give the same ride height as I had in the past (but a little lower due to slightly smaller wheels).
What do you think ?
Cheers,

My first set up used gullwing pro 3's with the nylon baseplate and no risers, after that I always ran indys or ventures with metal baseplates and no risers at all but I preferred a lower board. personal choice at the end of the day. Build yours up and try it with and without risers and see which you prefer. I don't think there would be any clearance issues for the wheels by not running risers unless you like your trucks very loose.
