Default VW truck body?

Does anyone produce a VW double cab pickup body that will fit the wheelbase of an SCX 10? I’ve seen a few although I think they are custom

Get the Proline Hilux body and turn it into a VW Taro.

Kinda odd - the CC01 version lists a 252mm wheelbase, but the WT01 "Custom Lift" version lists 281mm wheelbase.

Anyway, the body I saw on fleabay for about $37 was shown on the WT01 chassis. It has flares and is cut large around the fenders, unlike the (kinda boring) CC01 images.

It seems that you just trim the body differently for whichever chassis you have...

I bought the WT01 version to do the Sochi Version and decided to use a SCX10 chassis.

VolksWagen Amarok

I ended up buying another body set to build a stock one. Don't know way
but I like the body.

I think the OP is talking the vintage stuff, like the single cab, double cab and 23 window samba bus type stuff. A buddy has one restored to the T, worth a grip of $$$. But as a crawler?????
