Body options for K2-3L?

[Zombie76]

I was thinking about the Pro-Line Early 50'S Chevy, but I don't know if it's fits comfortably on the 3L. Has anyone used this lid? If so, any pictures?

A quick search for "K2-3L" in the Vendors forum revealed this:

NEW CNC'd K2-3L & K2-3S Chassis's...

And according to Tower, the 50s body is 17 3/4" long

NEW CNC'd K2-3L & K2-3S Chassis's...

Maybe that helps.

It would take a rather short body to not fit well on the 3L. Just about anything will work on that chassis. IT IS AN AWESOME CHASSIS! And it is hard to beat Kaetwo for help and support. I would reserve/pay for one ASAP because they go super fast.

Yeah, the body is a little longer. I just don't want to get one and have to hack it to death for it to fit. I thought it would make a cool looking truck, though.

Proline Hummer, HPI Rubicon and Clod Bodies fit good. Proline Land Cruiser does not fit. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in for you.

That's what I'll probably end up running if I can't find something different. The long bed is a little longer than the '50s Chevy, so that may not be an option.

the body is about 1" longer than the chassis, so i made plates to mount my bumpers you can see the front one in one fo the pics... it fits great though.

I had a courier on mine which fit fine. I had to cut about 5/8" off for a FJ body to fit.

I have a set of bumper mounts coming with my chassis, so I'd definitely like to run bumpers. How about the Pro-Line Suburban? I can't remember if I've seen that on a 3L. It's 1/4" shorter than the body you're running.

if the 50s chevy is 17 3/4" than it should fit fine but in my opinion id go with a clod or lift body but im just into styrene bodys

The long bed is 19 1/4" and he said it's an inch longer than the chassis. Not sure if that's on each end or all together. I'm worried the 17 3/4" might be cutting it close with the way the front end is shaped on the 50's body. I don't have a hobby shop, otherwise I'd go there and try a few on for size.
