The Pro-Line 1/6 1978 Chevy K-10 Clear Body for SCX6 is an exceptional addition to the world of large-scale RC crawlers, bringing authentic retro styling to your Axial SCX6 platform. This is Pro-Line's first official body option for the SCX6, and it represents a significant milestone for enthusiasts seeking to elevate their RC car UK setup with a fully licensed, iconic American truck. The 1978 Chevrolet K-10 is one of the most celebrated and nostalgic full-size trucks in automotive history, and now you can recreate that classic fleetside aesthetic on your 1:6 scale RC rock crawler.
Whether you're a seasoned RC hobbyist, a weekend basher, or someone new to the world of ready to run RC vehicles, this clear bodyshell offers unlimited creative possibilities. The body has been meticulously sculpted to capture every iconic detail of the original K-10, from its distinctive squared-off lines to its classic proportions. This isn't just a generic body shell—it's a fully licensed reproduction that honours the heritage of this legendary truck, making it perfect for those who want their RC crawler to turn heads on the trail or at the local RC car club.
Manufactured in the USA by Pro-Line since 1982, this clear body represents decades of expertise in RC bodyshell design and production. The company has built its reputation on creating products that combine authentic styling with practical functionality, and the K-10 is no exception. If you've been searching for a way to give your SCX6 a truly unique, recognisable appearance that stands out from standard factory bodies, this is the perfect solution.
Key Features
- Fully Licensed 1978 Chevrolet K-10 Fleetside Styling — This body carries official Chevrolet licensing, meaning you're getting an authentic reproduction of one of the most iconic trucks ever built. The fleetside design, with its classic proportions and distinctive body lines, is immediately recognisable and creates a genuine retro aesthetic that cannot be replicated by generic bodyshells. This level of authenticity appeals to collectors and enthusiasts who want their RC crawler to reflect real automotive heritage.
- Extra-Thick 2mm Crystal Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is crafted from premium crystal-clear polycarbonate material that is twice as thick as standard alternatives, providing exceptional durability and longevity even during aggressive trail use. This extra thickness means your body can withstand impacts, scrapes, and the rigours of rock crawling without cracking or splitting. The crystal-clear material also allows you to see the detailed chassis and internal components of your SCX6, adding visual appeal to your finished build.
- Paint-Then-Peel Overspray Film Built-In — The body comes pre-equipped with a protective overspray film that makes the painting process significantly easier and cleaner. You can apply your chosen paint colours directly over this film, and once your paint has cured, you simply peel away the film to reveal sharp, clean lines and professional-looking paint application. This feature eliminates the need for masking tape and reduces the time spent preparing your body for painting, making it accessible even for beginners.
- Detailed Sticker Sheet and Window Masks Included — Every body comes complete with a comprehensive decal sheet featuring authentic K-10 graphics and detailing, allowing you to create a finished look that matches the real truck. High-quality window masks are also included, enabling you to achieve perfect window application whether you choose to paint them or leave them clear. This level of included accessories means you have everything needed to move from bare shell to show-ready body in just a few steps.
- Compatible with Axial SCX6 Platform — This body is specifically engineered to fit the Axial SCX6 rock crawler chassis. The SCX6 is one of the most popular 1:6 scale RC crawlers available on the market in the UK, offering a large platform perfect for scale body applications. This compatibility ensures you're investing in a body that will integrate seamlessly with your existing setup, though you will need the AXI350001 body post set from Axial (sold separately) to complete the installation.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line's manufacturing heritage spans four decades, during which the company has established itself as a leader in RC body innovation. Products made in the USA typically undergo rigorous quality control and employ superior materials compared to some overseas alternatives. This manufacturing pedigree provides confidence in the durability and finish quality of your purchase.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line 1978 Chevy K-10 Clear Body is engineered specifically for the 1/6 scale Axial SCX6 rock crawler platform, delivering authentic scale proportions with impressive dimensional accuracy. At 743mm in length, 294mm in width, 241mm in height, and featuring a 501mm wheelbase, this body perfectly captures the proportions of the full-size K-10 truck. The extra-thick 2mm crystal-clear polycarbonate construction provides the durability required for serious rock crawling and trail use whilst maintaining optical clarity that allows the chassis and mechanical components to remain visible through the bodyshell. The material's thickness gives it superior impact resistance compared to thinner alternatives, ensuring that scrapes against rocks and contact with obstacles won't result in stress cracks or splits. The paint-then-peel overspray film system represents an engineering innovation that simplifies the painting process whilst delivering professional-grade results—the film protects unpainted areas during spray application and peels cleanly away once the paint has cured, eliminating the need for traditional masking techniques. The included window masks are precision-cut from quality material, ensuring that windows paint evenly and look authentic. For those building their first SCX6 body or returning to the hobby after years away, this body strikes an excellent balance between detail-rich aesthetics and practical construction, making it accessible to builders of all experience levels whilst appealing to competitive enthusiasts who demand professional results.

Four Steps to Crawler Ready
- Clean Body and Apply Window Mask — Begin by cleaning the clear bodyshell to remove any dust or contaminants. Carefully apply the included window masks to the window areas using the precision guides provided with the masks. This protects glass areas and ensures clean paint lines.

Once the paint has fully cured according to paint manufacturer instructions, carefully peel away the protective film to reveal crisp, clean lines without any masking tape residue.

- Mount Body onto SCX6 Chassis — Using the separately purchased AXI350001 body post set, secure the painted and decorated bodyshell to your SCX6 chassis following the body post installation instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this clear body fit my SCX6 rock crawler? — Yes, this body is specifically engineered to fit the Axial SCX6 platform. However, you will need to purchase the Axial AXI350001 Body Post Set separately, as this is not included with the bodyshell. Once the body posts are installed on your SCX6 chassis, the K-10 body will mount securely and align properly with the chassis dimensions.
- Do I need to paint this body, or can I use it clear? — The body is sold as a clear, unpainted shell, giving you complete freedom in your colour choices. Many builders choose to paint it, and the included overspray film makes the painting process straightforward. However, if you prefer a clear look, you can use the body as-is, though most builders do apply paint to capture the authentic appearance of the original truck.
- What paint should I use on this polycarbonate bodyshell? — You should use polycarbonate-specific RC body paint, which adheres to clear plastic better than standard automotive paints. Most major RC paint manufacturers, including Pro-Line and Tamiya, produce polycarbonate body paints suitable for this application. Always follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.
- How does the paint-then-peel overspray film work? — The film is already applied to the clear bodyshell before you receive it. You paint directly over this protective film, which prevents paint from adhering to areas you want to keep clear (such as windows). Once your paint has fully cured, you simply peel away the protective film in strips, revealing clean paint lines without any masking tape residue. This system saves time and delivers professional results.
- Is this body suitable for a beginner RC hobbyist? — Yes, absolutely. The K-10 body is excellent for builders at any experience level. The included paint-then-peel film system simplifies the painting process, and the detailed instruction sheets guide you through assembly. If you're new to RC body building and looking for a ready to run RC body option, this represents an accessible entry point into the world of custom chassis decoration and modification.
- What are the exact dimensions of this body? — The body measures 743mm in length (29.25 inches), 294mm in width (11.6 inches), 241mm in height (9.5 inches), and features a wheelbase of 501mm (19.74 inches). These dimensions are specifically calibrated for the SCX6 platform and accurately represent the proportions of the full-size 1978 K-10 truck at 1:6 scale.
- Can I use this body with other RC crawler chassis? — This body is engineered specifically for the Axial SCX6 platform. Using it with other chassis would require significant modification and may not result in proper fitment. If you own a different crawler platform and want a licensed body, you may want to check if Pro-Line offers models compatible with your specific chassis.
- What makes the 1978 Chevy K-10 special? — The 1978 K-10 is one of the most iconic American trucks ever built. It represents the golden era of full-size truck design, featuring distinctive squared-off body lines, classic proportions, and timeless styling that has influenced truck design for decades. For RC enthusiasts and truck fans, running this body on your SCX6 creates an instantly recognisable, nostalgic aesthetic that appeals to anyone who appreciates automotive heritage.
- Is the extra-thick 2mm polycarbonate really more durable? — Yes, the extra thickness significantly improves durability compared to thinner alternatives. The additional material provides better impact resistance, reduces the risk of stress cracks when bumping rocks or obstacles, and ensures the body maintains its shape and appearance over extended use. This thickness is particularly beneficial for aggressive trail use and rock crawling where bodies face constant contact with terrain.
- Should I pair this body with specific tyres and upgrades? — Pro-Line recommends pairing the K-10 body with the Interco Super Swamper SCX6 tyres (PRO1020114) and Dual Stage Foams (PRO637600) for the ultimate large-scale trail upgrade. These specially designed tyres and foams complement the scale appearance of the K-10 body and enhance handling and performance on varied terrain. However, any quality SCX6-compatible tyres will work mechanically with your setup.
