this is the picture the girl sent me and the attached email:
Hi David,
It was brought to my attention that this body does not have the part number inscribed on the back. You can see part of what looks like USA on it. Before I ship this body, I want to make sure you still want it. I was told by the person that I bought these from that they were pulled off of the original mold. Please view the attached picture and let me know. I will hold off from invoicing you until I hear from you first.
Thank you,
Heather
I'm pretty sure the original one came with ref. number or something on the rear... waiting for mr.lexan to post his

So what does everyone think of these bodies then? Is everyone going to avoid them because they could be repros? Has anyone spotted other differences apart from the missing part numbers?
Wouldn't you know it, when I am trying to find something, I can't. I don't know where I put my body (a sign I have too much junk). Sorry guys. I am going for it. Like Melvin said, if it is from the original mold as a "re-release", who really cares. Even if it is not or if it from a repo mold, $35 is not that bad at all.
Anyone fancy some JRX2 repos decals? That I can do myself.

Sign me up for a set, if they're just like the originals.
If it is a repro body pulled from the original mold, I don't mind either. I have an original, cut, unpainted body that I can compare this one to. I was gonna use it, but it's got some scuffs.

you werent the first to bid, unless you are using 2 seperate ebay id's.
are you using 2 seperate ebay id's?
Nope, I only have one ebay account. Not sure how that happened, the other guy must have bid right before me.
Yup prolly a B2/B3 body. Oh, BTW the man himself Andy Jacobson is still around! He's painting a 6130 team truck body for me as we speak. Great guy! He's works at pegasus hobbies now in Montclair, CA and still paints bodies on the side. Check their site for a number http://pegasushobbies.com/ I dunno maybe you could ship a fresh body out if they'll take it. If you are in Cali, definitely check the place out. Andy is usually there on weekdays.
Yeah, sorry for straying from the jrx2 body topic. I know that as a business, "Andy's" is already gone and he has no more old stock of anything around (just shoots the paint now). Good question, if he still has injection molds that would be awesome. I'll check it out.
