These are a really well made & designed "regular" geometry truck from Sabre. The bushings are both nice and deep, they'll fit new or old hole drilled decks and for old hole decks you can vary the wheelbase (or nose/tail length) thanks to the ingenious 8 holes on the baseplate.
That is such a nice feature it should almost be standard for all longboard trucks.
The new regular kingpin Bear trucks have a similar baseplate but theirs are variable for new hole trucks.

The big (deep) sabre bushings both top and bottom & the flat washer means these will work better than any standard kingpin "stock" trucks available.
You can tweak Indies by adding longer kinpins, deeper barrel bushings and flat washers but that is a load of hassle when these are ready to carve as they come.....no modifications needed.

At 7.5" inch wide they are perfect for use with slalom, giant slalom, cruiser or street/ramp decks in the 7.25" - 8.0" width range.
Note: If planning to use these as out and out ramp/park trucks I'd replace the top bushing, with a slightly slimmer one, and cut 3-4mm off the kingpins. This will give you a clear hanger keeping the kingpin out of the way of the coping for smooth grinds.
Some info from the Sabre website:
Our TKP (Tradition KingPin) trucks take George Powell’s 40 year old design, and improve a few details for longboard use. An adjustable wheelbase, full-size 16mm bushings, oversized pivot cup and rounded flanges all come together to create the perfect all-round longboard truck for those who prefer a TKP style turn. 127mm hanger width suits street and park decks as well as slalom & cruiser boards.
