Grump's Chevy Long Bed Creeper

[Grumpster1980]

Well at first I wanted to put a Tamiya Unimog Body on my creeper but it was way to short and it fit my CC-01 so much better so I went on the hunt.

I ended up getting the Pro-Line 1970 Chevy Long Bed body and it fits like a charm, I did have to trim the fenders a bit but noting to drastic.

This is just mounted no paint







I will probably go with a black and red paint job but that is still up in the air. I'll post some pictures when its done.

You should get a scale chassis and go from their with more scale stuff.

A smidge tire rub but I would call it more of a tire stuff and as you can tell from the video it did not effectthe truck in any way.

Grumpster, looks like you've beaten me to it. I've got all the parts sitting at home to build a creeper on an x-trail chassis with the C-10 long bed but I'm switching to 1.9s rather than the 2.2s...they're just too big for anything scale.

Captain - plans are for mine to look similar to your inspiration...black on the bottom with a metallic copper top...althought I just realized it's gonna look like a Duracell battery

Sweet can't wait to see it. I didn't use a scale chassis just the stock one and I was not going for a Creeper scaler ...I just like real looking bodies on RC's. At some point I will put the Safari chassis on it and I might even use the Safari body. I know its ugly but I like ugly.

I don't really think the Safari body is all that bad looking. And with a nice winch mounted in that indention in the front it should look pretty good.
