JConcepts Ford Raptor SVT O.S.F.M. body

JConcepts introduces the ‘one-size fits most’ ROAR National Champion winning Ford Raptor SVT body. With an ever increasing number of SCT trucks on the market a need for a body that is extremely versatile is in demand.

Extended cab design with recessed side windows, louvers along the front hood highlight a number of the front-end styling cues. Deep recessed trim-out locations along the hood and bed area provide ample space for air relief cut-outs which reduce the parachute / blow-over affect that is so common in Short Course racing.
