JConcepts 1982 GMC K2500 MT body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for 1/10th scale monster trucks such as the Traxxas Stampede and Tamiya Clod Buster is the 1982 GMC K2500 body, bringing back the late 70’s and early 80’s generation GMC truck line-up to the RC enthusiast. For the early 1980’s model year, the iconic square body emerged, a chiseled front-end, gently swept back from the centre. Fenders were redesigned as well as the hood and the classic vent windows. A new sloped hood replaced the previous generation hood that had less rake, and the exterior changes include optional headlights and an updated tailgate. Side-markers were now horizontal rather than vertical which is another tell-tale look of the later generation styling. The square body generation spanned an incredible 14 years and with small changes to grille, headlights, and trim packages throughout the years, JConcepts has added a bonus to the included decal sheet. Five different grille options are included on the sheet giving the user the option of their favourite square body grille and trim package. Quadruple light and double light bezel setups are included which contain bar and tube grilles combinations. In addition, a plethora of badges are offered on the sheet featuring Sierra Grande, Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne, Scottsdale and Silverado combinations.
