Hi all!
It's been a looooong time since I've posted here. Looking to see if anyone knows who made this body and if it's still available anywhere for a build.

Looks like a Tamiya Nissan King Cab.
TBG has the body and MCI has a similar set of decals.
But pay attention to the wheelbase. I think that it is closer to a buggy, than most trucks.
I'm actually planning on using it on one of my Blackfoots.

Although similar, the original King Cab body never had rear fender flares that size or the roll bar molded in behind the cab.
Using my Google skills, I found that it's a McAllister Nissan King Cab body:

I love the RC10Talk wheel logo decal!

This is the TBG body and separate lexan rollbar.

Thanks for finding that. I was thinking McAllister, but it's not on their website. It appears that Gary sold his assets to a family with two little boys who race R/C. I wonder if they still have the mold.

Ross May is the new owner of McAllister Racing. He's a big dirt oval guy but still has all of Gary's original moulds. And he's really awesome to deal with.
