JConcepts 1989 Ford F-150 California Stampede body

Coming from JConcepts is their new 1989 Ford F-150 California body shell for the Traxxas Stampede truck. The body was built for the Traxxas Stampede “BIGFOOT No. 1 The Original Monster Truck” and it offers first class styling and its exterior is accentuated with smooth raised fenders and stepped front bumper. The strongest point to the design resolves back to the husky front and rear fenders giving it that pre-runner look. The extra bulk in this department gives the truck a boastful look capable of clearing an assortment of tires. A racy cab with scribed in window net, built-in racerback and roll-bar bed hosts a location for the mock spare tire for those long days in the dunes. The body features Ford licensed grille and headlights, wrap-around parking lights, a minimalist grille and an accurate and clean-looking Ford/JConcepts decal sheet. The body is a direct fit for the Traxxas BIGFOOT No. 1 and for fitment on all other Stampede models, its necessary to use the Traxxas #3619 body mount kit.
