Trucker "Light Edge 8"(?) Skis?

"I'm not sure how their constructed, but I don't see any kind of foam nipple. I'll try and get some pictures later."

Correct, they're not an injected foam construction, I think they have a fiberglass torsion box.

I'd buy em if the price is right. Do they say "Company 3" anywhere? True Aspen made skis.

Nope, these Truckers don’t have the “Company 3” logo but do say “Made in Boulder” with serial numbers stamped into the top sheet. If I recall correctly, Lovett was making these in Boulder before “Company 3” was created, but my high school memories from the 70’s are pretty foggy. 217cm, 60-50-50 and have good camber left in them. These have a Troll 3-pin tour binding and can’t imagine making telemark turns in a leather boot with these. I’m looking forward to getting some more snow here to take them out for some fun on smaller hills!

Your memory is correct, yours are rebranded Lovetts, or at least made in John Lovett's ski factory in Boulder. Those are remarkable for having survived with an intact camber, as Lovetts had the softest of torsion box foam cores, the same construction that plagued Trucker as Company 3.
Those were the heydays in Boulder--at least three other ski manufacturers were in town--Lange, Dynamic, and Head. Lovett was making more XC skis than any of the alpine ski manufacturers, maybe 70K pair a year. In 1978, Lovett sold the company to Eastern Mountain Sports, Trucker spun off after that to the Aspen Carbondale area.
I think I still have a pair of 207 Lange "White Rockets" somewhere in my garage.

Here are the plastic edged Truckers I have.

I guess the seller must’ve preferred skiing the Epoke or Bonna that are for sale. She told me that the Truckers hadn’t been skied in 40 years.

Having seen several pair of Lovetts that broke under the bindings. The foam core material would crumble out like used florist foam. Truckers, too.
