1/5th Scale 85 GMC SB FS
 
Would any of you know where one might find one of these, I have a Losi Five T and would like to find a body for it.

I don't think they are available for that year model. Pro-line has a body kit for an 80, 72 truck and a blazer available.

Thanks for the link that body style is close enough to a 85 for me just a little small for the Five-T. Just might give give me an out to pick up a EREVO, be like having a Mini Me of the full size. Not sure if the Warden will think that's a legit reason but it sounds good LOL.

The old clod buster/super clod buster is probably what you want.The clod buster has a chevy grill and says it on the tailgate while the super clod buster says 4x4x4 on the grill and nothing on the tailgate.Take a look at http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/3715753...&ul_noapp=true

I looked it up the clod buster is 1/10 scale so it won't be big enough either.I looked at 1/5 scale bodies you don't have many options from what i seen.You could buy a vaterra 1/10 scale and swap bodies and have a scale version of your truck.

Yup im thinking you are right even if I went with the E-REVO which Proline says their body will fit but when you compare the two the body wheel to wheel center line is 2 inch's shorter then the truck so it wouldn't look right, guess I will just keep looking.
Thanks for the help.

The proline body is 1/8 scale it should fit over the frame but the wheels will stick out,And sounds like you want a scale copy of your truck that's gonna be hard to do in that size.The best option i see is a 1/10 scale rc and swap bodies to your liking.
