A phenomenon must start somewhere, in the case of Monster Trucks; it was started with a 1979 Ford pick-up truck. The iconic body style shaped and revised by Ford, specifically for the 1979 model year, features rectangular headlights and a one-piece center grille. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful truck than the 1979 and JConcepts has built a ground-up design which embodies everything that is special about this piece of truck history.
To start this project, JConcepts meticulously set their sights on the 1:1 vehicle replicating the finest details of the 1979. The heavily chiseled, square body look with enlarged, flat-top wheel wells set this body off as a favorite. The recessed body line extends down the entire side of the standard cab body and the included decal sheet details this section to appear like the chrome trim of yesteryear. The wrap-around front windshield, recessed side windows are outlined to perfection while the body lines are all in place to show off that vintage look.
With this project, it was important to have a much longer length to fit trucks with 12.5 to 13.00” or more wheelbase. Perhaps the most important part of the design, the front headlights, grille, taillights, and tailgate are replicated with a decal sheet giving that all important, high-impact look. The 12.5 to 13.00” wheelbase gives drivers options for mounting to vehicles such as the LMT, SMT10, or custom-built Pro Mod and competition trucks. The flatbed area gives plenty of space for body mount locations or customized with bed cover look.
When it’s time to fabricate a race truck or flash back to the golden years of Monster Trucks by dressing out a Pro Mod race build, JConcepts is World Proven Innovation and Design.
