What is claimed is: 1. A truck mounting system for mounting a wheel truck to a deck comprising a base unit, at least one adjustable sliding member and a locking device; said base unit having a first end, a second end and a middle section, and further including a lengthwise channel commencing proximate the first end and extending toward the second end, with a set of indentations formed in the bottom of the said channel and aligned with the long axis of the channel, and the base unit further including lengthwise recesses; said adjustable sliding member comprising a flat surface with two upwardly facing perpendicular sides and inward facing lip surfaces whereby each of the said lip surfaces is slidably engaged into the recesses of the base unit and said flat surface further including a slot and an upward extending stopper adjacent to the slot; said locking device consisting of a flat surface with an upwardly extending tongue, the flat surface biased against the sliding member so as to apply pressure to the locking device to forcibly engage the tongue of the locking device into one of the indentations in the channel of the base unit. 2. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 1 wherein the indentations formed in the channel along the long axis of the middle section comprise a set of parallel grooves. 3. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 1 wherein the indentations formed in the channel along the long axis of the middle section comprise a set of generally circular detents. 4. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 1 wherein the sliding member is made from stainless steel. 5. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 1 wherein the base unit is made from one or more of the materials included within the group of fiberglass strengthened polyacetate, fiberglass strengthened polycarbonate, and fiberglass strengthened polyacrylamide (nylon). 6. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 1 wherein the base unit is integrally formed into the under side of the deck of a skateboard. 7. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 1 wherein the locking device further includes a lever by which the user may engage or disengage the locking device to alternatively lock or reposition the sliding member. 8. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 7 wherein the lever to engage or disengage the locking device protrudes from the side of the mounting system to permit access therefrom. 9. A truck mounting system for mounting a wheel truck to a deck comprising a base unit, at least one adjustable sliding member and a locking device; said base unit having a first end, a second end and a middle section, and further including a lengthwise channel commencing proximate the first end and extending toward the second end, with a set of indentations formed in the bottom of the said channel and aligned with the long axis of the channel, and the base unit further including lengthwise recesses; said adjustable sliding member comprising a flat surface with two upwardly facing perpendicular sides and inward facing lip surfaces whereby each of the said lip surfaces is slidably engaged into the recesses of the base unit; and said flat surface further including a slot and an upward extending stopper adjacent to the slot; said locking device consisting of a upper plate having a downwardly angled first end and a second end, with an upward facing tongue proximate to the first end and an opening proximate to second end whereby the opening fits over the sliding member stopper protuberance to secure the locking device to the sliding member, and further including a spring plate biased against the upper plate so as to apply pressure to the locking device to forcibly engage the tongue of the locking device into one of the grooves in the channel of the base unit; and said locking device further including a lever by which the user may engage or disengage the locking device to alternatively lock or reposition the sliding member. 10. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 9 wherein the indentations formed in the channel along the long axis of the middle section comprise a set of parallel grooves. 11. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 9 wherein the indentations formed in the channel along the long axis of the middle section comprise a set of generally circular detents. 12. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 9 wherein the sliding member is made from stainless steel. 13. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 9 wherein the base unit is made from one or more of the materials included within the group of fiberglass strengthened polyacetate, fiberglass strengthened polycarbonate, and fiberglass strengthened polyacrylamide (nylon). 14. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 9 wherein the base unit is integrally formed into the under side of the deck of a skateboard. 15. The skateboard truck mounting system of claim 9 wherein the lever to engage or disengage the locking device protrudes from the side of the mounting system to permit access therefrom.
