Got a bunch of stuff, what can I use out of it to make a LDP

So the other day I ended up getting two long boards.  The first was a freeride skateboards longboard with wedges, tracker b-2 trucks, and about 68-70mm wheels (I haven't measured them yet, they arn't labled).  I also got a beat up orginal skateboards freeride 47 board.  This came with some thrashed wheels and bearings, a beat to hell board (with the plys delaming) and some original skatebaords trucks which are ok.  Both boards are a little long for LDP but I want to try what I have before I buy another board.  So what would be the best use of this gear?  Is any of it good for LDP or should I just put together a fun board and not worry about LDP for now?  The freeride skateboard now has blue doh-doh bushings I put in it and it can carve pretty good now.  Oh and is it worth me injecting some gorrilla glue between the plys and clamping them on the freeride 47 or should I just toss the board and get a different one.  Prehaps one that is good for LDP?

I used to own an Original 47 and it pumped very nicely.  Not really an LDP rig, but a fun ride.  The deck had a very nice flex and trucks are super turny and responsive.  Maybe some new bearings and wheels (speed vents or big zigs perhaps) would add some life to that set up.  Then when you do get a new deck and trucks you already have some good LDP wheels.

unfortunately one of the wheels on the 47 is messed up.  I have to replace it and I don't know how hard that will be or even if that will work considering the new one would be a different size.  They are kryptonics classics 70mm.  If I can't find a single replacement wheel I might just get a new set.
