Okay, so I have my skateboard, and its a regular deck, but I don't use it for tricks or stuff, I just like to cruise. So I was thinking of putting longboard trucks and wheels, but I have no idea what size trucks, wheels, bearings or even a good brand. The deck is 8 inches, and I don't know if I should use the same sized trucks, or wider, or what the size of the wheels should be.
P.S. My friend told me about razors, wtf are those for?
 
Razor scooters? HAHAHA jk
For that size board, I would just stick with whatever trucks you have or get Randal 150s or Paris 150s.
As for the wheels, I would get 60mm - 65mm trucks just to be safe from getting wheelbite. I recommend a lower duro wheel, around 78a - 82a for the smoothest ride. I recommend getting Abec11 No Skools, Earthwing Crewzers, Ladero Boogers, Seismic Hot Spots, Metro Micro Retros, or Metro Micro Motions.
You will still need riser pads though, maybe 1/4" - 1/2" depending on how loose you like your trucks.
