In mid-1996 Ford introduced the “Snoopy nose” F-150 as an early 1997 model; a clean sheet, more aerodynamic design that looked very futuristic compared to the brickish GMT400 twins from GM that had been around since 1988 and the “big-rig” Dodge Ram that was last refreshed in 1994. That Ford would go on to be one of the best selling generations of F-150 to date and are still seen on the roads and in the dunes today. Trophy truck and prerunner builds are quite popular for this chassis and Pro-Line has released their version of such with this new 1997 F-150 Trophy Truck, available as a clear shell that is ready for the owners own color scheme to be applied or in Pro-Line’s Tough Color black with a “Riviera” livery (detail decals included). The Tough Color variant retains its finish even when scratched thanks to the color being molded in, keeping the shell looking better longer. Wide fender flares reach out to cover the tires and blend seamlessly into the faithfully recreated headlight and grille treatment. Each body reuses the interior, roll cage and roof skids of the stock body for added protection and an extra level of detail. Like all Pro-Line bodies these two trophy truck offerings were designed and manufactured in the USA. Window masks and Paint-Then-Peel overspray film are included with the clear version and both include detail decals.
