Default F-350 Scaler

Not sure who is into scalers here but I'm wanting to build a scale model of my rig. I saw an ad for I think it was RCP.com that had a 2005-07 white F-350 crew cab body. Does anyone know where I would be able to find one of these or what company makes them?

Was it a hard plastic body or lexan?
The most common and imo the most accurate is Tamiya's F-350 body used on their High lift or Juggernaut. Although it's a 99-04 style, if you leave the lights clear it looks pretty close.

The other decent f-350 hard body that I've heard of is off a 1/6 scale Fast Lane toy truck. They're the correct year you want, but are harder to come by, though.


That f-250 is the 08-10 model year. The 05-07 super duty is externally the same as the 99-04 super duties, but they have different style lights, grill, bumpers and badges.

Seeing it now, it was the Fast Lane body, and at 1/6 holy hell that's big, guess I'll be doing a 1/6 scaler rather than a 1/10. I will also be needing to figure out how to convert it from extended cab to crew.

Good luck finding two of those, they haven't been made in a number of years and are difficult to find. Your best bet is to check ebay, local garage sales, and thrift shops(goodwill, ex.).

If you are capable at modifying/scratch building, Tamiya's f-350 bodies would be much easier to get a hold of.

Since the 05-07 grill is so flat in the middle, you could probably modify it with sheet styrene. Cover it with chrome decal and your done.
