Default 17" wb body

Has anyone found a body that would look somewhat scale on a 17" wheelbase truck. I'm runnin' a pimp cane, but still want a little bit of the real look. Anybody have any pics?
Thanks

I realize the words "pimp cane" have the complete opposite meaning of scale rig, but there has the be something close. Maybe in an SUV with some major trimming done?
b-t-w thanks for the link KID, I'll look into that body a bit more.

Losi Aftershock bodies are big. Proline has a F-350 body for the extended chassis maxx trucks. Tower has them item # LXDCW8. It says its for up to 15" wheelbase though. You might could search for some of the sites that have the new giant scale monster trucks with the gas engines. They probibly have large bodies. If I find any of them out I'll post back.

I forgot all about the Cen Genisis nitro truck, your right that thing is huge ( alittle bigger than the maxx and savage), That just might be the perfect size.
Thanks alot

Check out the XTM Mamoth body too, I think its wheelbase is 15 or 16 inches, and those extended proline bodies look too short on 15" IMO.

Proline makes a hummer body for the CEN Genesis... I just bought one off thebay and it should be here in a day or two... If you are still looking, I can measure the WB for you (just PM me if you need me to)... I think it is about 15 or 16"

the tech on it says 20-1/2" long but no wheelbase listed...
