I hate to be "that guy" again.
But I got huge box of stuff and this part has me stumped. It had an A&L header card with no label but I contacted A&L and they said it wasn't ever made by them.

It looks like maybe Lexan wheel fenders maybe for some sort of open wheeled car. Not really sure. Anyone have guess on what it is or who made it?

Thanks

Dan

looks like a rear stadium truck shock cut out

That is what I was seeing as well, I wonder if they made those for the early gas conversion trucks to relocate the rear tower humps

Oh, that could be. I didn't even see that until now. Goes to show what someone with a different perspective sees.

I looked closer at the bag and sure looks like original A&L part despite what he said. Doesn't look re-stapled or re packaged. But who knows, could have been very careful repackaging by someone.

i poured over the A&L catalog posted here. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11576
If it is A&L, don't think it is in that catalog. But sure did make me aware of a bunch stuff I never knew they and Factory Works made.

It could be some limited production piece too, it didn't take too long for truck bodies to grow those humps out back

They were just late bloomers lmao!don

i think your going to have to go older than 94 as trucks where in kit form then

That's a very interesting piece. It would make sense that it was a gas conversion part. Another thing to consider is that that rear section is always the first part of the body to get torn up on a stadium truck.

pm daryl, take the guess work out of it.

Sorry, when I said I asked A&L I was speaking about Daryl. He said it wasn't something they made.

oops, missed that part.

I believe this is it!

Woot! Need one for my moody conversion then

You used to be able to buy the rear shock section of truck bodies (10T especially) because the body mounts would break through. It was a "repair" kit of sorts.

Cant remember who made it right now, but I know I bought many of them

Thanks for all the help guys. I was so off, I had no idea these patch panels had existed. At least know I now what it is.
