JCONCEPTS 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 Edition Monster Truck Body (Clear)

This is the JConcepts 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 Edition Monster Truck Body in clear Lexan material. This body direct fit for Monster Trucks with a 10.5″ (267mm) to 11.0″ (279) wheelbase. 

JConcepts is pleased to announce a partnership with USA-1 4×4 and owner Everett Jasmer on the creation of a decal package for the 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition body. One of the most iconic names in the Monster Truck industry remains USA-1. The original built by Jasmer in the early 1980’s is a classic, and features several notable items added to the legacy Chevy build that provides its stance, looks and branding package.

As Everett describes, USA-1 is one of the first generation of Monster Trucks in the world and ironically the original was also painted blue. As the industry populated and toys and novelties became popular, Everett decided to paint the truck and detail the identity in such a way that it stood out against the competition. A beautiful blue pearl paint was chosen for the vehicle combining many of Jasmer’s favorites in to one dazzling appearance. The air brush master, Dan Patterson, was called upon to detail the name of the vehicle on the truck with Everett’s input. USA-1 was born to be different and through the watchful eye of Jasmer, the identity of one of the best on the scene gathered the attention of adults, children and soon the motorsports world.

With all the experience and expertise, the JConcepts decal set needed to be solid and after receiving all the photo assets of the vehicle, the JConcepts design team went to work recreating an icon. From the USA-1 air brushed logo, stars and waving flag, the classic American decal sheet started to take shape. Fine details including engine size, special thank you to family, friends, and supporters, the sheet has a lot of specifics and even includes a few boastful bow-ties. Everett’s mission in supporting the troops, this great nation and his core beliefs are also part of this unique decal livery.

The hood of the truck is beautiful and the decal sheet covers this precious area with a large format decal which waves down and in front of the built-in hood scoop on the body. The grille, turn-signals and traditional badging from the Chevy body are located on the JConcepts decal sheet also included with the body. The shell itself includes the custom type beefy fender flares, cap-top roof from the 1970’s and incredible fine detailing on windshield, side windows, markers and body trim. The recessed bed area has plenty of room for an assortment of body mounting applications and provides a platform to add the JConcepts Shapeways additional roll-bar and light-bar which are available separately.

The body arrives clear in package with Chevrolet and JConcepts decal sheet along with window mask for ease of painting. Separately, the set also includes USA-1 4×4 decal sheet for the 1970 shell custom made and licensed through Everett Jasmer. All products are backed by JConcepts customer service and racing heritage.

Notes from the team –
The body should be cleaned with dish soap allowed to completely dry and painted with polycarbonate approved paint. The air release USA-1 decals should be applied with care and easily placed to configure position and then sealed more by hand or fingertip once arranged in the proper position. The grille decals and miscellaneous lights should be hand trimmed and placed diligently into marked or scribed areas or where it matches a 1:1 truck or model photo.
