JConcepts Inc. 1978 Chevy K10 Tuck Body 12.3in Wheelbase JCO0465 Car/Truck Bodies wings & Decals

Overview

The 1978 styling represented the 3rd generation of trucks from General Motors, and even though they are known today as “square body trucks,” it was originally designated as the “rounded line.”

Inspiration can arrive at any time, for JConcepts it was during events such as the Ultimate Scale Truck Expo in Williston, Florida. A mass following of tiny truck drivers arrive and meet up annually for the weekend showing off their best rigs or new innovations. Taking notes, the team from Groveland, Florida, set out to produce something to unveil during the following year, and for 2023 the new Tuck body made its appearance. Fantastic paint and graphics applied on the 78-body courtesy of Scale Rat RC help make photos and the debut really pop.

The identifiable design detail of the retro piece is the center bulged section that runs the length of the shell. A vertical signal marker can be added thanks to the included and pre-trimmed JConcepts decal sheet. Extending off the center structure of the body, the blend flows nicely into the cab with large windows which are recessed for increased realism. The large front windshield produces a lot of scale visibility to look forward to the Tucked front nose for better handling characteristics.

The included decal sheet allows the user to decorate the front-end to desired look, fit, and finish. An incredible 4 different headlight and grille combination decals are included to cover a vast assortment of Chevrolet / GMC looks, and trim packages. All the favorite names, Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale, Silverado, Cheyenne, and Sierra Grande are present on the decal sheet to match up with legacy models. The bed area of the body Tucks firmly to the rear with minimal overhang. Decals allow for tailgate trim, rear taillights, and miscellaneous badging
