They got them(lexan) for 1/10(Savage/TMaxx sized) and 1/8(LST/MGT). I've got a 1/10 for my Savage awaiting paint and a 1/8 on order for my LST.
The best truck body I've seen(and have) for 1/18 is the Dakota that is meant for the Micro RS4, but I have it adapted to my brushless RC18T.

BTW, I see my old camper behind it in those pics. Post some shots of it, if you want.

I used to build a lot of models before I turned 16; got pretty good at it, too. You're just about making want to start again.

They look awesome.

Thanks Steve. Here's a few pics of the camper...

Thanks for posting those pics of the camper 72cc. I really had that one a LONG time ago. To tell the truth, I don't think I was able to get it done. I must have only been 10 or so and really early in my modeling. You know, more glue on your hands than on the plastic.

Doesn't it have appliances and stuff on the inside?

Most of them are mild custom with mostly out of the box parts.

Mine is the Model King reissue. I hope he's going to do another run of them so I can get another one. It does have full interior. The only thing I will need to change if I get another one is the wheelbase is too short...

Here's my 69 with a scratch built slide in camper.

This is what almost made me quit building models. It is 95% scratch built and I have right at 300 hours in building it.

I'm sorry, a 1/2 ton with a slide in.......not squatting enough in the rear!

That is amazing. What material did you use for all the flat surfaces on both the campers?

I had to put heavy duty overloads in it. LOL I used .040 sheet plastic to built them. I've also done a teardrop,pop up and tag along campers too...

**special-K** · 01-26-2007, 06:43 PM

Hey,I had a real`69 K/10 CustomCamper...with three on da tree.

Aarons72s · 01-26-2007, 08:02 PM

Both my 72's are ex slide in camper trucks. And they are 1/2 tons. The ornge one we got it in 73 due to they realized it wasnt big enoughas it was just a stock 72 with stock springs and a sway bar. My green and white also used to be a slide in truck. When I bought it it still had the camper support plates on the cowl. But this one had 3/4 ton hd rear springs and dual saddle tanks but no sway bar, interesting ride I bet.
