Independent Genuine Parts Phillips Hardware
Independent Genuine Parts Phillips Hardware
Independent Genuine Parts hardware is built to the same standard the brand holds for its trucks: no shortcuts, no substitutes. These Phillips head bolts are the mounting hardware of choice for skateboarders who trust the Independent name, and they are specified to hold that trust set after set.
Construction and Design
Every detail on these bolts is deliberate. The cross logo heads are immediately recognizable and give the board a clean, branded look from the top. Bolt heads are full-size and stamped with the Independent Cross insignia, so they seat flush and stay put under load. Nylon lock nuts are also full-size, providing the thread friction that keeps hardware from walking loose during hard skating. The shafts feature an extended unthreaded section, a design choice that reduces contact with the board and minimizes wood damage over repeated installations and removals.
What Is Included
Each set contains 8 bolts and matching nuts, an Independent decal, and recyclable packaging. Everything needed to mount a complete deck is in the bag.
Independent Genuine Parts
Independent Trucks has been the number one choice of professional skateboarders since 1978. The Genuine Parts line carries that same manufacturing philosophy into every component sold under the name, from wheels to hardware. When it says Genuine Parts, it means the same material standards and tolerances applied to the trucks themselves.
Phillips vs Allen Drive
Phillips head hardware works with the most widely available skate tools and standard screwdrivers, making it a practical everyday choice for skaters who want fast, reliable deck changes at any spot, shop, or at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is included in a set of Independent Genuine Parts Phillips Hardware?
- Each set includes 8 Phillips head bolts and matching nylon lock nuts, an Independent decal, and recyclable packaging. One set is everything you need to mount a skateboard deck to your trucks.
- What makes Independent Genuine Parts hardware different from generic hardware?
- Independent Genuine Parts hardware is manufactured to Independent's own specifications: full-size nylon lock nuts that resist loosening, full-size bolt heads with the Cross insignia for proper tool seating, and extended unthreaded shafts that reduce wear on the deck wood compared to fully threaded bolts.
- Why do the bolts have extended unthreaded shafts?
- The unthreaded section of the shaft minimizes the amount of metal in direct contact with the board hole during installation and use. This reduces splintering and board damage, which matters if you swap decks frequently.
- What tool do I need to install Phillips head hardware?
- A standard Phillips head screwdriver or a skate tool with a Phillips bit. Most skate tools sold today include a Phillips driver, so you are unlikely to need a separate tool.
- How do I know which bolt length to choose?
- The correct length depends on your riser pad setup. With no risers, shorter bolts are typically correct. Adding riser pads increases the needed length. Consult the variant picker for the options carried, and ask the team at Island Water Sports in store or online if you need guidance.
- Are Independent Genuine Parts bolts compatible with all skateboard trucks?
- Yes. Skateboard hardware uses a standardized thread pattern and mounts through the standard 8 baseplate holes on any conventional skateboard deck, making these bolts compatible with Independent trucks and all other major truck brands.
- Where can I buy Independent Genuine Parts Phillips Hardware?
- Independent Genuine Parts Phillips Hardware is available at Island Water Sports in store and online. Independent has been the number one truck brand with professional skateboarders since 1978, and Genuine Parts hardware is stocked as part of that full lineup.
