Default F350 highlift to SCX10

Hey guys, looking for ideas on how to mount a F350 highlift body to a SCX10 chassis. I'm pulling blanks and searched but came up with very few pictures. Can you guys help? Pictures would be a huge plus. Thanks all!

This is where you need to get creative - cause everyone has their own way of doing things. If you do a search for way back when the site came around - nothing came from the factory - everything was custom. over the past 7 years i have seen parts off of other non crawler kits that work wonders in the right application. heck, i straight axled a 4x4 slash with a tamiya f350 front bumper gaurd as my shock mounts in the rear. worked out great! Honestly - to mount the f350 body you might have to mount the bed to the cab - then drill holes through it to use the stock scx10 mounts - if you want a cleaner look - custom mounts and velcro are going to be your friend.

I totally understand creativity is huge usually I do ok in this department, these last couple days not so much. I posted this to hopefully get my creative juices flowing.

I saw your build with the bumper as a shock tower. That worked great!

I'm an old-school bent flat aluminum bolted to the chassis with velcro person myself.

That's what I'm thinking about doing.

I'm guessing you were talking about Tommyr's build? I read through that. Gave me some good ideas. Thanks!
