Stuck inside for the most part because of the cold and darkness of winter thinking about getting a SCX10 scaler. Dreaming more than thinking actually.
The Superduty, newer F-150 and Raptor just don't feel right for a crawler. The 79 F-150 (a bodystyle I have never been fond of to start with) IMO didn't come out especially great. The personallity of the '67 doesn't really fit either.
Pretty much I am stuck with the Chevy C/K series truck or Jeep Commanche, is there any older sporty Ford stuff out there that looks decent? I have seen a bullnose cab on youtube but I never found a place that sells them. Any kind of a stock Ranger body would be neat too...
I would love to sink a Honcho bed in the truck box so it would get a rollbar with a spare tire mount but if I could just find a nice cab a truggy wouldn't be bad either.
