Skateboard trucks are fairly easy to choose. You'll need two to ride. There are numerous brands, colors, graphics, and that choice is really up to your own tatse and style. Generally the axle's width on the truck should be within 1/4" of the deck's width.
The height of the skateboard truck is also a key when selecting what trucks are right for you. The reason you would want to choose a higher skate truck is based upon your style of riding and selection of wheels. Once you start selecting wheels over 56mm, you should consider purchasing high trucks.
High trucks allow for more clearance from the bottom of your board to the surface of the wheel. "Wheelbite" is something you definitely want to avoid. This is when a wheel comes into contact with the board stopping you dead in your tracks, most likely resulting in a painful digger.
