Looking for a Body.

[brokenrachet]

Hello there,
Forgive me, I am new to this fourm. It may seem my post title is way out there. I am trying to find a 1950ish Chevy or Gmc body, or shell to fit a small rock crawler. I have an elderly uncle that had a 1952 chevrolet 3100 when he was younger. I guess I am trying to bring back memories of days of long ago. I have seen 1/10 scale, but I am hoping for something smaller 1/24 1/18 or 1/16. I know people 3d print stuff like this all the time. If someone could point me in the right direction I would most certainly appreciate it. Thanks

Welcome to the group! Your best bet is looking for old plastic model kits and adapting them.

Pro-line makes one but, it's 1/10th. FMS makes a 1/18th Apache but, that's newer. And 6X6. Your best bet is going to be either an actual model kit or diecast and adapting it to fit.

If you grab an Axial SCX24 you can fit a lot of the AMT or Revell model kit bodies on them with a little fidlling around. You just have to make some body mounts. You can do that with styrene and magnets or velcro. Here is a body

And here is the RC I would start out with

If you decide to do it, come here and start a build thread and we can help you along the way.

This in an AMT Coca Cola van model kit body on an SCX24 Deadbolt chassis.

Anything's possible. You just have to put your mind to it. And then wing it. Lol.

Welcome to RCT! This is as close as I can get: https://www.fmshobby.com/products/1-24-k5-blazer-car-boby-and-canvas-top-w-o-painted
Be sure to get the rest of the parts including the: grill, windows, etc.

Or just get the FCX18 K5 Blazer. I think he's lookin for something a tad bit older tho.

O, and welcome to RCT!

Yeah, he's wanting a '53 Chevy truck body. A far cry different from a C10 Blazer

If he didn't mind a 6x6, this is an option.
Chevy Apache 6x6

Thanks to all of y'all now I have to see which will be the best fit. Thanks again.

What about this one?

It's from a FMS Magnum 1/18

That's the body I want.

I'm betting the op's uncle isn't much of a Ford fan.
