Pro-Line 1972 Chevy C-10 drag truck body

From Pro-Line is this 1972 Chevy C-10 drag truck body specifically designed for the growing no-prep SC drag racing scene. Bowtie fans will love this ultra-scale body that captures all the signature details of this classic truck and will look and perform great going down the drag strip. To create the most scale look possible, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body. It does fit on the AE DR10 with trimming, but your 2wd Slash will require some different parts to fit correctly.
