J Concepts - JCI Tucked, 1979 Ford F-150 Body 12.3" Wheelbase

Overview

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 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.

For crawling enthusiasts, the team from Groveland, Florida adapted the Tucked style to the front and rear sections of the vehicle. The vision for the project is for those wanting to replicate an original, but also be ready for competition equipped vehicles. The recessed bed area allows plenty of space for a variety of mounting applications as well as storage or placement of other scale accessories (not included). Large wheel well openings allow an assortment of tires ranging from 4.19” to 4.75” overall diameter tires.

The clear and pre-cut body shell includes decal sheet, window mask for easy painting, and covered with overspray film direct from the factory. The JConcepts team builds, tests, and travels the world to support the brand and gather valuable driver feedback in search of the best appearing and performance items on the market. The product is designed in the U.S.A. and always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style. Look for reputable dealers and distributors and demand authentic products – choose JConcepts.
