There is one on E-bay. But it's the whole rig not just the body. I saw it 2 days ago. Don't ask me where. I don't remember how I found it so your on your own when looking for it.

Here is the only one I found but it's mint so you will pay a fortune for it. I got mine for about $20 about a year ago but these RC's are going up in price everyday.

Those dont look like they will work for a build up since they are smaller and more of a collectors item.Maybe we can get lucky and if the Courier sells alot then maybe someone will consider making some new bodys of the older trucks.
