thats a excelent idea thanks! maby i can cut 1 (one- as in not 2(two-as in more then one) out of a shortcourse truck body!!!

Yes,

I am glad you know the difference.

The information you are looking for is on this site, it all depends on what type of material you want to use. Your trying to add bedsides to a body that doesn't come with them, might be cheaper and easier to purchase a truck body that comes with them, then hack it to your liking.

This would have two benefits: Your body with bedsides is more sturdy, and the body you purchased is a replica of a true 1:1 vehicle.

well i have a sc body laying around so i can just hack that and try 2 make it work! i just want to see how the overall appearence is of the truck then decide if i would like 2 make/create legit bedsides.

This is my plan with the honcho as well...The only problem I could see with hacking the bed out of a lexan body is the cab wont go all the way to the bottom. If you use the honcho cab, it will. Of course, then the problem is adding the bed sides and grafting them to the honcho cab while making it look like it was meant to be built like that. If I do try to hack up a lexan body and use it as one piece, it will either be Axial's Diablo body, or my stock Stampede body. Otherwise I will probably try to get something with flare sides, hack them off and use the honcho cab.

You could wait till it's out and see how it is once you have it in front of you. Think it would make it easier that way you know what size and everything. But I would look into styrene..

You could see if anyone sells the Proline Desert Rat (Carnage) pieces separate.
or find someone with an old POS slash body and cut it up.
