just a thought here but why is it that almost all if not all stock truck bodies are pick up and never S.U.V. bodies personally i think it would be sweet to see some trucks with those bodies

Most are nitro so a truck body is easier to cut and mold to keep the engine cool. An SUV doesnt give many options except to cut the windshield.

How many Full size MTs do you see with SUV bodys. Maybe you could consider grave digger one...but that's about it.....
Besides, SUVs are fugly :p

Personally I agree...I'd love to see more MT's with SUV bodies. The biggest downside to the SUV body is that it's a PITA to get to stuff on the truck w/ the body on unless you hack big holes in it. The other big downside is that the rear body posts are considerably taller so they're weaker. That said, with almost every truck coming with electric starts these days, I'm surprised not one company offers an SUV bodied truck. It doesn't make much sense with a pull start, but with electric start, it's not a real big deal.
