F150 body help
Hi guys
I have at last got hold of my Proline ford f150 shell.
Would you people who already have this body post pics of what you have done with the rear end truck bed area in respect to filler cap.
Your help would be greatly appriciated
Thanks
Hez

RE: F350 body help
I don't believe I've see anyone post the F350 here friend.You'll just have to wing it,maybe use the original body as a guide if you still have it.Make the holes with rounded corners so they don't crack and post pics when you're done

I've been curious about how that body would fit even before there were any other LST bodies available. Post pics when your done please.[8D]

Pinolelst your right no one has posted pics of F350[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] It was a mistake by me. Should have said F150 so i've edited it to say so I really should pay more attention when posting

RE: F350 body help
here's some pics of my f-350 body...painted about 2 days ago...it's a simple paint job but i have the full size version in my garage..
it's funny, i had one of these on a t-maxx before.. it barley fit...too big.
its amazing how the LST dwarfs this body!! enjoy..i had to trim on the side of the body in order for it to fit correctly...dang LST just to big!!!

RE: F150 body help
sorry...missed a few details....one thing about these bodies....you'll have to turn the airfilter towards the front, narrow body won't allow it to go out the back, i guess you could but filter would be all squished.(is that a word??) kinda nice though.. you have plenty of clearence on top of motor head..and if you ever had one of these pro-line f350 bodies... you know how thick they are...you'll also have to trim on both sides..i trimmed over gear cover.. and pipe on the side..or else the body simply will not mount on. sorry didn't get a pic of the drivers side...i'll post one soon though...hope this helps out.

RE: F150 body help
well first it's a short bed so i have about 3 feet of clearence in the front until i hit the refridgerator and less than a foot of clearence at the rear bumper when the door goes down..i'ts a tight fit. and it only has a 2 inch lift...so i have about 3 inches of clearence on the roof. our house is older, and our garage is fairly long. house made in the 60's so the garage is taller and bigger... i guess....more like lucky.....
i have an easier time driving in the truck than i did fitting that F-350 body on the LST... LOL!!
