Default help me decide on a body

im looking to retire the red f-150 on my 2.2 truck... i attached some pics of it. i like that body but its all beat up, cracking and stuff. im looking around at other bodies but havent found anything that really jumps out at me. i wanna stick to more of a comp look rather than a full bronco/rubi/c10 body. but i dont like the crowd pleaser bodies... im thinking about just getting another pro-line f-150 like the one ive got and painting it up differently. anyone got any suggestions?

Any info on the chassis. That has to be one of the coolest torsion's ever! Makes me want to rethink my opinion about them (which isn't a good one)!

I guess because HPI puts a lot of detail in their bodies, they passed on Chevy because they couldn't make the doors sag and the body rattle like it had a bag of marbles dropped in it.
