Clod bodied Bruiser

[mikhail]

Hello, this is the begining of my build of a bruiser I recently aquired. I only have a few pics right now and was looking for some feedback on the clod body with this chassis and tire combo. I'm going for a scale look not comp performance. Here are the specs so far: Bruiser chassis, wheels and axles. Puller style tranny with a GD 600 and 65T lathe. Juggy leafs front and rear with unimoger's revolver shackles to come. And finally Masher 2000's and a stock clod body. I plan on cutting out the bed insides and building it to look like a full size truck with a tool box to hide the electronics. Anyway onto the picture.

Looks teats to me.

I like those bodies on a Bruiser, as well as the Jugger bodies which I just aquired one NIP.

Don't see as many CLod bodies over a Bruiser frame. Are you going to keep the hole in the hood or fill it?

I am partial to the body as I had a 1:1 '82 chevy with a 454, 2wd but fast as hell. I am planning on filling the hole in the hood and doing as little trimming as possible. I thought about an exo or other crash protection but that seems like what alot of others are doing. I want this truck to stand out in its plain looks for a while then later I'll fab up some cagework.

I had an 85 myself. I loved that truck. My fav was a 68 chevy with a bb in it. Throw down a kick a$$ paint job on it. It will stand out enough just because you don't see many with a clod body (at least compared to Juggers), and with a tool box and a realistic bed, it will rock.
