Are the wheel wells in this body big enough where you would't have to cut the fenders off and have the tires fit in them? Its going on a 2.2 TLT with moabs probably.

have you been around lately?? there are several buildups in the small scale forum with this body. the stock openings have trouble clearing geolanders so you could figure out what it would take to clear the moabs

Most people have been using the courier. And actually I don't look at a whole lot of buildups and if I do I don't pay attention to what body they're using.

This is a question that really doesn't have a good answer. A lot of factors have to be considered. Things like ride height, wheelbase, tread width, etc. need to be considered. If you match the wheelbase of your truck to the body. And you have plenty of ride height you can get away with very little trimming. But that is only if you do your homework and build a truck to fit the body dimensions.

i have a '72 chevy NIP and when i set it on my tlt which has a SW2 so about 12.5" wb and moabs, i see the need for a lot of cutting

I have the Courier and the Chevy. I hacked up the crap out of the Courier for a comp body. I wanted to have the C-10 for a nice scale body. Didn't work out well. It is useless to think that the C-10 in stock form would work at all. I am going to hack the crap put of it soon. I can post some pics when I do.

I think that any body would have to be hacked up pretty bad to be effective crawler body. Unless you used a narrow stadium truck body.

Well its not going to be a comp crawler. Its going to be going on a more scale rig. He wants the wb to match the body and it to look like a raised stocker basically. Looks like he will have to find a different body.

Here is a link to the Chevy I just built.project "search button",my TLT Chevy. I didn't have to cut it too bad.It still rubs a little when flexed to the max though.

OIT_TLT · 03-13-2006, 03:27 PM

im in the same boat as 72Blazer. i have two chevy bodies, one i trimmed just enough to clear the tires, and the other one that i trimmed quite a bit. heres the link to my buildup

my new scale rig

If that is the case then the WB matches up pretty good.
