I have the 32" hybrid and I was wondering if the front truck could be redrilled back and inch or so. I just want some more versatility and I cant wait till the spring to by the ts pistol. I would like to try a sub 20" wheelbase on this baby. Any thoughts? Chicken? these are your deck, your the expert. Thanks all.

Mike Civ,
I e-mailed Chicken with the exact same question several weeks ago. Here is his response:
"Jonathan,
You can drill another set it shouldn't weaken the deck I've had some with 3 set's of rear truck holes and 2 set's in the front with no problems.
Chicken"
As you can imagine, you will want to do them STRAIGHT. Use a drill press if you can. "Measure twice, drill once"--that sort of thing. It's very discouraging, not to mention UGLY, if you mess up the holes on a custom-made deck.
