Scotch RFD7090: Heavy Duty Fasteners & All-Weather Fasteners | OfficeWorld.com

I used this stuff for my build.its really heavy duty,pretty much like plastic velcro.

As far as how to use it for mounting,
With the hood being able to open that makes it tough! Maybe you can make a bracket that the one side of the velcro mounts to and put that bracket on the frame around the area where the doors of the cab would be and put the other side of velcro on the doors. Other then that i would say theres not too many options but you could make a tube like structure or bracket,drill holes in the bottom of the body and use screws to secure the body to the tube or bracket structure.
Or you can make a bracket in the back of the cab under the window that connects to the frame.i did it on one of my builds.sorry i just dont have a pic so ill get you one when i get home.
And sorry if what i have posted makes no sense,ill try and get ya some pics
