JConcepts 1989 Ford F-250 monster truck bodyshell

JConcepts have introduced the 1989 Ford F-250 monster truck bodyshell. The must-have body of the 1980’s was featured on several of the most popular full-size monster trucks during this generation and always proved to be popular among the Ford enthusiasts and always wreaked havoc on the competition. The 1989 F-Series carries over the same body style from the previous generation, yet sports a new rounded front clip that improves vehicle aerodynamics over its predecessors. The softened body lines around the rear of the bed and large fender arches around the wheel wells provides the scale monster truck look. The body features flush-fitting grille and headlights, wrap-around parking lights, a minimalist grille and an accurate and clean-looking Ford/JConcepts decal sheet. The 10.5″ wheelbase and 7″ wide body comes clear and it fits a variety of R/C monster trucks including the iconic Tamiya Clod Buster.
