Hi I was looking for any information on this conversion (when it was produced, desirable, rare) I recently came across one and don't know anything about it. I tried to search for it on here but did not have much luck. Any help would be great thanks.

Re: JG truck conversion
Which version do you have? There was the Monster Truck conversion and then there was the SRT (Stadium Race Truck) with long arms and extended wheelbase chassis (two types).
The Monster Truck conversion was mid to late 80's and consisted of kydex and/or fiberglass body mounts, fiberglass or graphite towers for longer front and rear shocks, either extended front axles and rear wheel adapters or direct fit wheels with extra offset, and a body.
The SRT had the direct fit wheels and body, extended wheelbase graphite chassis, one piece combo bumper/skid plate/body mount, rear kydex body mount and longer front and rear arms (either machined delrin or molded nylon). The SRT came out in late 1989 or 1990 and wasn't around long since the RC10T came out shortly after.
Here's my incomplete SRT with the rear arms and extended chassis: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=32930&start=15#p363721
...and here's bscotti's with the other style chassis but RPM truck arms and the front tower from a Monster Truck conversion: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3448
There was also another longer front tower for 1.02" and 1.32" shocks.
