Default Class 1 ?

Is a wooden box legal for class 1 truck? I wanna build a Ford on a scx10 chassis and I have a few old blackfoots layin around that I want to use. I dont think the wheel wells will line up close to true scale. Thoughts? Thanks.

lots of people use blackfoot bodies. I don't see the problem with lining up the wheels to the wheel arches? Just make the correct links and its done.

Yes, as long as it follows the rest of the C1 rules for the body. ie: length to extend past the tires, width for tire coverage, No dovetailing, etc....

Ok. Thank you. I figured as much but I wanted to double check. Thought maybe it had to be original style looking or something.
