Since I never had a truck conversion til now (thanks Rod for the many truck conversions) I thought I would put one on my only gold pan temporarily. Rod if you come across any cheap RC10s I can put one you these conversion kits on let me know, I need 2 maybe 3 but one will do for now.
That's sweet. I loved the truck conversions, actually USING the fenders on the body. There needs to be a conversion class, with a limit on the spread between the outer hinge pins on the suspension arms, narrower overall width, wider bodies, etc.
I'm going to do the same with a 1970 F100 body. I want mine to sit lower though. Might have to use shorter rear shocks and make a new shock tower. Nice body.
looks real nice........ im a big fan of stuff like this(i wanted to do a oldschool parma 80s-90s bronco body).. my truck conversion has different mounts...(i remember 3 different mount setups).. before the rc10t people would be racing blackfoots, lunchboxes,exc...people would buy this conversion and rule the truck class
I would have worked on the mounts more, but I didn't want to but any hole in the body if it was going to be a mock up. I also use the body on my Losi Comp Crawler
I'll probably try and find vintage bodies (and buggies too)for all the 4 different brands of kits...you all know what that means $$$$
I swear it's worse than an addiction. Drinking beer every night got to be cheaper by far Especially done in the states, it's over #20 for 12 beer here
Cool stuff Anthony, I'm happy you could put the conversions to use! I had a Proline one (Chev body?) back in the day on a gold pan and then the 10t came out! I can't remember what I did with it after, I think it went back to a buggy! The conversion never really appealed to me after the 10t, but they still look cool when the body is nice, like yours!
So on my latest acquisition, I scored a Proline Truck conversion.
In going through all the parts, Im missing one of the axles. I did get some similar axles from a friend, but they aren't drilled for a king pin. (If you notice in the following pic,...

I could use some help. This was part of the Chris Chan collection, and this body was on a RC10 with early truck conversion. I wanted to see if anyone recognizes it from a photo or advertisement.
Thanks

I agree, it says chan racing but that looks like Mike Ogle styling
This is one he did for Ron at SRP. Oh, it's probably still for sale too 8)
I recently picked up a bronco body for a spare CC01 chassis I have. At first I was just going to make my own body mounts to adapt the body but in the end decided to just get the OEM mounts. I Had to get part of the body mounts from Japan and the...
I picked this really nice Andy's roller up from RedScampi (what must be a couple of years ago) and I scratched my head over it for a little while. I decieded last year to throw an unboxed, incomplete but mint Proline truck conversion on it.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I have this Andy's truck conversion.
I considered swapping it onto this Andy's chassis and may still do so if I can get the front mounts to line up, I won't be drilling any extra holes that's for sure.
I was always a sucker for the old truck conversions. I had a John Gudvangen conversion when I was growing up and it was a very fun truck. I had some wheels kicking around, and they still mke the old proline tires, CRP still has the body mounts....so...
