Default Let’s see those 78 Stepsides.

Like the title says, looking for the Proline 78 K10 body’s painted and or mounted. Thinking of that body for my Sport Kit. Curious to see what all of you have done with them.

It's not painted yet, only because I can't decided on colors or paint scheme, but here's mine on an SSD Trail King.

Here’s an old tonka inspired theme I did on a K10 mounted on a trx4 sport.

Definitely one of my favorite bodies! I want to run it, but afraid I'll have to butcher it too much for 2.2s.
Wondering if I could rig up a bed without the fenders to open up the rear for bigger tires and slide the front axle forward (or body back) so the tires swing doesn't get into the door.

For now... getting everything mechanical built... then I'll worry about the body. No sense in $100 in paint/body sitting there with a chassis that isn't complete.

How about a. Hard body version? I’ve been slowly chipping at it for a while. Bed is totally Hans made with an actual wood floor.

They are awesome! Lots of backspacing on them to get the look though. They are Boom Racing Terra 1.9 Classic 8-Hole Aluminum Deep Dish.

Is it easy to fit onto a TRX4 Sport chassis?

The reason I ask is that I like the body but I have never fitted or painted a new shell. I am still running the blue standard body but want to change.

It’s not to tough. Just keep cutting until it fits how you want. Not thing that helped me was making a different battery tray. It’s not needed, I just didn’t like the stock tray.

Thank you! Needed some minor trimming and fitting. But I think they fit the body just right.

There is definitely a lot more detail on the proline body compared to the JConcepts squarebody. Granted it has a lot of different sticker options for the headlights but the mold itself is pretty basic.


I thought about the proline body but didnt trim or remove the rear fenders.
