Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find/make a 1941 willys truck body?

It looks like Blacksmith, Captains Curse, (or Lil' Miss Dangerous for folks familiar with the Midwest Monster Truck circuit).

Parma makes a 1941 Willys car body, but not the truck. See:

http://www.shopatron.com/product/part_number=10242/137.0

My 5 year old wants a '41 Willys for his Stampede and the closest I have found is the 34 Ford pick-up, early 50's Chevy pick-up (Proline), and 52 Ford pick-up. I've googled about 4-5 different variations (41, '41, 1941, Willys, Willy's, etc) and found nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I like the idea but have only seen the car body. Might look at pro-line. Talk to people at the local hobbie shop.

Thanks for the Bolink site!

Those truck bodies from that site are perfect for my show and shine projects.

I found an Axial Rat Rod Monster Truck body that was used to create Captain's Curse. I tried to use the vinyl laminate inverted image inside the body, but the colors were off, so used sticker paper from Office Depot for the outside of the body and sprayed with a laminate shell.
