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.

Yes, if you purchase or have any skateboard trucks they will fit any wheels. the bearings are the part that actually connects to the trucks. the bearings go in the wheels; the wheels with bearings go onto the trucks and are bolted on.

Voodoo 13: Most Skateboard and longbord trucks and are the same. If the trucks are wide enough for the longboard you can use them no problem. Longboards are generally wider at 8" - 10" - the trucks will need to be able to clear the wheels from the deck or you'll need to compensate with riser pads..

no decks go by width so if the width in like 7.75 or 7.81 you must get a 7.75 truck because the with differs by 1 centimeter.

No, my friend has a regular skateboard with longboard wheels and he has normal trucks. And I've done it before with my longboard and skateboard.
