From JConcepts the new 1989 Ford body in 13” wheelbase is built and fit for trucks such as the Losi LMT and Axial SMT10. The shell offers first class styling, and its exterior is accentuated with a smooth and moulded front and rear bumper. The must-have body of the 80’s was featured on several of the most popular full- size Monster trucks. During this generation, the Ford always proved to be popular among the truck enthusiasts and always wreaked havoc on the competition. The 1989 F-Series carries over the same body style from the previous generation yet sports a new rounded front clip that improves vehicle aerodynamics over its predecessors. The softened body lines around the rear of the bed and large fender arches around the wheel wells provides the scale monster truck look.
