|  Parma '97 Dakota body WB?
came across this body and thought it would be awesome to build a scale truck to match my 1:1. My truck is no serious off roader but it would still be awesome to have something that looked like it! http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDA47&P=7  My question is, does anyone know the WB? It doesn't say on tower and for some reason I can't get the parma site to work at work. |

It's an on road car body that you have to cut the rear wheelwells out to get your wheelbase.I'm not sure that you'd like it for your application. Edit:Just went to their website.It says it's 7.5" wide and has a wheelbase of 10.875".I think you still have to make the rear wheelwells but I'm not sure.

mnstr, got any more pics of the rear fender wells? Did you have to place them and cut them out? About the wheelbase. My truck's wheelbase is 131" so that means if I use that body will be 1/12th scale. So if I run the stock car wheels with high lift tires it'll be like running 44's.  |

How ironic! I picked up one of these bodies about a year ago with the hopes to build a scaler to match my 97 Dakota. The body length is okay but it is either to wide or to narrow for TLT axles. I will have to grab that body again and recheck to be sure which it is. BTW, Nice truck. |

It's wide, the body is not really tall and the fenders come marked out all weird. But, it is a good body something different.

I had one on an SW2. It needs some creative trimming. But overall not a bad looking body.  |

I have one for my TA02 and the rear wheel wells dont come trimmed. I messed up on it and mounted it wrong the first time and then messed up on the antenna drilling so it has a few more holes than I'd like it to have...   wheelbase and length is perfect for a TA02..same length width and everything as parmas extended cab dodge ram..  Length is about 17.5 I believe and I know it's with is 7.5.. |

Does it come with the headlight/tail light/grill decals? I think I'm going to go ahead and get one.

I didn't get a chance to measure it but I did set it atop my rig. It's a hair wider and a little longer than the Rock Pleazer I have mounted and with single narrowed stampedes and Moabs, the moabs stick out about a 3/8" - 1/2". No to bad in my opinion. |
