Not sure of any 1:8, although I have a '53 plastic body for a 1:18th size remote control car. Some of the RC mag's have the bodies, but not sure of size or make.

48-50 Available
Used one of the kid's old off road truck chassis, and bought a clear 48-50 F-1 which fit's pretty good. I think it's 1/12 or 1/10 scale. I'd have to look but I know I have the manufacturerer's name somewhere for the body. Like anything doing with old trucks, you have to play with the mounting, but nothing big deal.

There was a fat fendered R/C truck at Radio Shack, but not all that big.
I'd bet that someplace there are 1/10 scale body shells for sale. Try an R/C hobby store; they'll have catalogs you can look through.
Myself, I'm looking for a '57 to '60 body. Biggest I've found so far is the die cast 1:18 scale.

From what I remember from my short stint in RC trucks, the Midnight Pumpkin was a 1/12th scale and the "standard" truck bodies were 1/10th. I used the chassis from the pumpkin and stretched it so I could put a bigger lexan body on it, along with monster tires and a bigger motor. I didn't even realize they still made the pumpkin because the one I used, I got about 14 years ago and it was a relatively old truck then.
