What materials are skateboard trucks made from?
Long board wheels or any skateboard wheels are generally made of polyurethane, ore just urethane. Long board wheels are generally softer and larger than regular skateboard wheels. The softer the wheel, the smoother and quieter the ride is, but hard, smaller wheels are good for landing tricks, but go slower and bumpier. Since long boards are generally not used for flip tricks, they can focus on speed and ride quality.

What new trucks should you get for your long board?
I have a loaded Dervish, and I have been enjoying my Randall II 180mm trucks for a while. There is no rattle and they are heavy duty and reliable. My friend's new board came with Paris trucks, and out of the box, they where rattling. For heavy duty reliable trucks that wont break the bank, Randall's are best.
Can skateboard trucks be used on long boards?
It depends. Without going into too much detail, all trucks are essentially the same, aside from length. If a truck is too short for a board, the wheel will hit the deck and cause wheel-bite. Wheel-bite can stop your board entirely when making a turn, potentially causing injury. If you can't afford to purchase longer trucks, buy some risers. Risers go in-between the deck and the truck to lift the deck and prevent wheel-bite. Just make sure that you purchase corresponding hardware to accommodate your new risers. Good luck.
