| JConcepts 1984 Ford F-250 MT body shell Posted: 05 Mar 2018 09:00 AM PST JConcepts have introduced the new 1984 Ford F-250 MT body shell for 1/10th solid axle monster trucks. Considered to be the last of the “classic” Ford trucks, the 1984 model screams 80’s style and features a Ford oval placed in the center of the grille. The square body trucks from this generation are just plain mean and with the single cab design, long bed and flat body panels, tradition was an important part to the JConcepts design team. The Ford bloodline runs deep with the hard body lines running horizontally top and bottom which helps to create a rigid panel. The front windshield is large and in charge and offers the scale driver a clear view of the road ahead. The JConcepts manufactured body measures 7.25”/184mm width and built for a 13”/330mm wheelbase truck. The body is carved with traditional rectangle arched wheel wells but can be trimmed larger for jumbo tires such as the Renegades and Firestorms, found on the typical RC monster truck. The set includes a clear body shell, paint mask for all windows and detailed Ford and JConcepts logo decal sheet. Source: JConcepts [jconcepts.net] |
