Hey everyone

[Jarmstrong9]

Hi, my name is Jon and I'm from Washington. I'm looking to maybe build some off-road karts for my daughters and nephews. I keep looking online for fiberglass truck bodies, but can't really find anything, anybody know of someone/where i could find fiberglass truck bodies?

The fiberglass truck bodies are out there but you have to be a crazed individual to find one, I mean heavy on the “search” button.

Possom Point just found one. Maybe he could sell you the plastic one he was going to use?

Got some good work done recently, I was able to cut the spindle arms down about 3/4” redrilled the holes and put them back on. Next issue was the large tie rod was roughly 1.5” to long, the left side was straight and the right side was waaaaaaay out in right field. After some time and figuring...

What kind of truck are you looking for? A Jeep qualifies as a truck; U.S. Army truck, 1/4 ton..... and there seems to be a glut of Jeep-bodied go kart/buggy/“ATVs”

Welcome.
Broke power wheels are abundant. Could you use one of those bodies?

Tell us more about your skill level and your lot in life.
”Maybe build” is such weak, uncertain language. We want to hear “build or die tryin’!”

Go karts with fiberglass bodies are fun but they are sort of on the fringe. Maybe you can establish the frame, seat and wheels first then build a Cybertruck around it.



You could fashion the panels out of 1/4” plywood or something, paint it silver and call it a day.

Maybe I'm lazy or maybe stupid. Probably a good deal of both. WHERE do you find this stuff? 20 different hot rod or old cruiser style fiberglass bodies. That is amazing! Honestly I wouldn't want one because I feel they compromise the performance ability of the kart. But regardless, they are cool as h@ll. And for Jarmstrong9 that has to be
go kart body hevan.

But not one of those bodies are big enough for a go-kart. All pedal karts or strollers.

Those “bar stool” karts or cooler karts that were all the rage a few years ago are about the same size right? Wheelbase about 24 inches or so. I think Chancer built one and won the build off.

Pancho, I just entered “fiberglass go kart body” in my search engine, but I already knew about both those sites. Was hoping for more results.


Found another possibility, Trophy Karts. Now that’s a no compromise small truck body. May not be “fiberglass” but polymer wunder plastik….
