A 48 and a53 for the most part have about the same whell base, just watch for the swing behind the rear axle. But overall no big deal.

Yep ya gotta watch your trailer when you turn in some places like NYC and Boston with 53' and 48's vans. I swing as wide as possible and have had no problems yet.

As far as new trks all they got are prostars right now. I heard someone post tthat he saw some 386 but not positive on it yet. As far as getting a new trk out of orientation I heard they are putting a few per orientation and have yall draw for it. As for the rest will be selecting from the old trucks. Whatever is available at time of orientation.
