Owned a 1979 Ford F150 when I was 18, wanted to paint a shelf queen body to put on my Stampede any time I clean it up good. Its a JConcepts body for my 2wd extended chassis Stampede, will also fit the Granite 3s. Found a couple of pictures for inspiration...

Not the same but will show my age...the RC reminds me of the GMC truck on the sitcom "The Fall Guy" with Lee Majors I believe.

Looks good (y)
 
I purchased them separately:
JConcepts body

Bigfoot Chrome kit:

I bought the JConcepts body because it has an 11" wheelbase that fits the 1" extended chassis my Stampede has better than the Traxxas Bigfoot body. The body doesn't come with the bumpers in the picture which I found out from Amazon reviewers. Width is the same so I bought the Bigfoot chrome package and it fits perfect.

Didn't see the grille option until after I had already finished, but getting that this week to attach.

Love that truck. My dad had a 1979 GMC Sierra that my older brother ended up getting and I got a 79 F150. Lot of great looking classics from the late 70's/early 80's.
