JConcepts 1970 Chevy K10 monster truck body

The latest addition to JConcepts’ popular line of rigid axle monster truck body shells is the 1970 Chevy K10. The popularity of scale and monster trucks sent JConcepts to the trenches in search of the ultimate line of iconic trucks to compliment a range of vehicles utilising a 10.5” to 11.00” wheelbase such as the Tamiya Clod Buster and Traxxas Stampede. The 1970 shell is powerful, and the square body shape is a shout-out to simpler times when a hard day’s work was a bedful of goodness. For the 1970, a lot of the glamour rests in the front grille and headlight package as well as the layered and sculpted rear tail gate and taillight section. These details are found on and included in the decal sheet along with many emblems and trim packages to complete your body in several popular looks from that generation. A chiseled front-end is gently swept back from the centre and moulded in front bumper with diamond plate like top. Fender wells are round, and a huge flare was added with raised edging making them ideal for recreating several iconic monster trucks from the golden era. The hood on the Chevy is rock solid in shape that planes across the centre ridgeline. A built-in hood scoop is in a great position to add any additional parts a user can think of such as predator carburettors or injector hat. The cab and windshield are a key styling point on this creation and the “cap” look to the cab has the hard edge around the sides and visor like appearance to the front. Side windows fit within the geometry as expected with classic vent windows lining the front corner.
