I have a Kyosho Chevy step side from around -84! But I’m looking for replacement truck/pickup body for this truck. My original body is beyond salvageable.
The measurement is as follow:
Wheel base: 275mm (about 11 inch)
Wide: 200mm (about 8 inch)
So help me out guys, I’m open for any suggestions!

I'm currently trying to find a Chevy body for my Big Brute which has an 11" wheelbase as well.

I haven't looked too hard yet but I did find this in the way of Chevy pick-up truck bodies:

It might be too skinny for your application though.

Here's what I found by Googling "Parma 10200":

This body looks promising, but it’s only 170mm wide! The tires will stick out a bit, but that’s no problem I think.

A clodbuster has a 10.63" wheelbase. The juggernaut has an 11" wheelbase. Maybe one of those bodies would come close.
