Default Ford F 550 flatbed haul truck.

This build will use left over scx-II kit parts (frame & trans) and rc4wd yota II axles along with a host of other goods to complete build.
Really really wish i could have used the jconcepts 2011 f250 body but the wheel base is too short, i think body length is 16". Stock scx-II Cherokee body is 19+. So ill go a model year lower and use proline 2008 f250, and rig some dually fenders up.
Heres what has happened so far...

Nothing really fits. Scx panhard hits axle on full compression, so it had to go. Rc4wd axles are opposite with panhard mount so had to extend the reach of mount.

Cant decide if im going to widen front end. The tires fit in the fenders so well

I cant decide on the fender extensions... these look a little cheesy

Rc4wd widners really helped the front end out.

Truck looks awesome!! I do agree with you on the rear fenders though. The need to be a little more contoured to the body. I know cutting the body would probably make you cringe, but if you cut off the small existing flares and extend them out, it may look a little more natural. I'd hate to do it and find out otherwise though lol.

Atleast 4ft long. Going to extend wheelbase again on haul truck, atleast 2 inches. Will have to figure out a bed for it
