JConcepts 1972 Chevy C10 Scalpel bodyshell

The 1972 Chevy C10 truck body by JConcepts is a perfect complement to the Scalpel Speed-Run conversion kit for the Slash 4×4. Officially licensed, the C10 boasts a wide-body stance which allows it to tame high-speeds while showing off that all important retro look from the 1970’s. Large fenders allow plenty of clearance for the 2.8″ G-Locs tyres and a shallow bed area gives the truck-like appearance while maintaining that all inclusive speed-line structure. Included with the body, that requires JConcept’s bumper conversion kit, are grill, headlight, taillight and miscellaneous logo decals.
