Anyone know if there was an upgrade frame for the King Cab?

I have an old King Cab in perfect working condition. I need to rebody it (or make it a project vehicle) and was wondering if anyone has done anything with one of these? It is just used for driving around the yard.

Thank's Dean

I love the King Cab! It was my first proper Tamiya kit.

The Kingcab body is akin to the Tamiya 959 - rare as hens teeth and they go for big bucks! They were blow molded and not vacuum formed to get the extra detail which made them really weak.

Since I am in a holding pattern for my RC10 Graphite I acquired, I have decided to start thinking about restoring a King Cab that came in the same lot.

I'd like to get it in running condition but shelf queen status is good too.

I think all I need...

Last post

Screw it. For the amount of time and outrageous prices I can get a runner for about the same as the parts I need.

Going up for sale.

Just want to see what you guys think of me trading my 2009 buggy champ used(about 20 packs)for a new built never ran tamiya nissan king cab. Does it seem like a even trade?

That's exactly the reason I was thinking :D

So this Tamiya King Cab was painted 2 years ago when I first started my hunt for them. It was actually my very first find, but unfortunately, the body was painted and backed with black, which turned the supposed bright red into this dark burgundyish...

Can confirm. The body on my King Cab is all cracked and broken. I forget exactly what the story is but I believe Tamiya used too thin of lexan on the originals.

Yep. I remember Tamiya had such an issue with those square corners on this body. I...

This is my (almost complete) refurbished Tamiya King Cab. I didn't take pictures during the process so only end shots.

I started with 3 King Cab/Monster Racer chassis. The intent was to combine all 3 into the best King Cab I could make because I...
