Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? Does any body make a wide 70’s Ford truck body ? I’m looking for a body around the with of a stock trx4 bronco. I’m not having any luck finding one most are around 7” wide. |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? JConcepts has a couple but they may be a little narrow. Vaterra has a 68 F100 but it's made for a touring car wheelbase. The Outlaw Rampage has a pretty cool Baja body. |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? Maybe the Carisma '76 F-150? It's 324mm wheelbase, can't seem to find the width... It's a looker, though. Also, they make a drop-bed kit for it. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon...._AC_SX679_.jpg https://www.bigsquidrc.com/wp-conten...ruck-Bed-3.jpg |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? Those are 7” wide and 19.75” long |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? I'm currently looking for the Carisma ( body only) and can't find it anywhere. I haven't checked oversea yet but I'm only finding rtr kits on amazon/ ebay. This is the one that I've been posting pics of lately in the trx4 section that my buddy and I did for his defender chassis so if you need any input, OP... I'm happy to help. |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? Just came across the Kyosho Mad Crusher. It's not exactly a Ford but it's kinda Ford-ish. WB is about 13.8" and it's about 8" wide at the grill so it may be a little wider at the fenders. With some Ford decals you could probably pull it off as a Ford. https://www.activescalemodels.co.uk/...s/k.33152b.jpg You can get a clear body for about $60 at ebay. Mad Crusher body |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? I have a Jconcepts 1979 F250 body and it is 8" wide. Bumper to bumper is 20-1/2". I would like to find a short bed version of it. The long bed gets hung up here and there in the tight twisty paths. |

Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? Is it possible to bob a lexan body?? Seems like it would lose a lot of structure. |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? I bobbed the rear of the bed on an rc4wd tacoma body (lexan) and just e6000'd it together. Stronger than ever. To make a long bed into a short bed, you'd really need to shorten both ends (in front and behind the wheel opening) which means you'd need to bridge the cab and bed sections back together with a scrap of lexan (or something) glued on the backside. As long as the body was painted before glueing things together, the seams won't be terribly noticeable. |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? Bobbed an Axial C10 body recently. Just cut a section out of the rear and attached it back together with styrene strips/epoxy and a little bondo finishing paste in the seams, worked just fine. |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? JConcepts makes the widest F150 bodies for a 12.3 WB. Unfortunately they don’t make a 70’s version. They make an early 80’s and early 90’s. Nice thing about them is how well you can stuff a 4.75” tire in them http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...4433-67465.jpg http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...4433-67393.jpg http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...4433-66964.jpg http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...4433-66986.jpg |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? I like the body pin in the second photo :) is that a stick? I've started carrying spares for when I forget to put them on at the house. |

Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? JConcepts 79F250 I have one just didn't get to get around to it. Hoping TRX Bronco Grill fits it |

Edit: just looked at the jconcepts web page, looks the width might actually match. Not sure how comparable the body lines are however. Could take some massaging Quote:

Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? My bad. I bought the Jconcepts 79 body for my SCX10 II a few weeks ago. It is right at 8" wide. Not sure of the TRX grill width. |
Re: Wide 70’s Ford truck body ??? Yrah jconcepts just came out with a 79 f250 crawler width body. I have the older monster truck width 79 and it was closer to 1:12 scale. Good question about the traxxas bronco grill. You would have better luck with a 3d printed grill from RCNerds on shapeways. He actually shrunk down a grill he developed for the proline f250 cab mentioned earlier. I gave him the measurements and it came from shapeways with the dimensions I supplied. Looked and fit EXCELLENT. I'm sure he would do it again for the new crawler width 79. |
