Default Looking for a K5 body

Does anybody know of any body that was made to look like a K5 Blazer? I was told there was one made in the past but have no idea who made it or if it is still available.

Tamiya made the Blazin Blazer which looked like a 73-75(?) topless K5. Then others take a Clodbuster body, Tamiya again, which is a pickup 81-87 style, shorten it and either chop the roof off or build a fiberglass top. I'm thinking of doing that with a clod body I have. Compared to the very rare and valuable BlazinBlazer bodies, the clod bodies are cheap.

Thanks. You or anybody else wouldn't know where I could find one? I'm not worried about the cost. Here is a pic of my 1:1 K5.

Get the Clod Lexan body. Shorten the Bed and cut the Back window out.

The clodbuster body is what you want then, but it will need some work to be a K5. Shorten the wheelbase and cut behind the cab. The body without grill, glass, bumpers, or any of the extras is $33 on tower hobbies. Or check the for sale section on here. One went for $15 yesterday before I saw it. I got mine with the chevy grill and tailgate for $15 plus shipping but in rough shape.
