Considering I tried to fit my Jcon Silverado body (I made it to fit my Slash 2wd) It fit on the Pro4 but the body mounts on the pro4 are a bit more farther apart than the slash so I had to force it on. UNLESS you drill/ream new holes for the body mounts. Wheelbases on SCTs are almost identically the same so don't think you'll have any issues with wheel well clearance. Scientifically, the Pro4 is 6mm shorter wheelbase than the slash so some minor trimming around the wheels would probably be needed.
Stock Pro4 body on Pro4:
Jconcepts HighFlow SIlverado (made for my slash 2wd) on Pro4 (this body is more beat up in the front and made to fit XL SCT tires so no clearance issues in the front)
I do have my stock Traxxas Mike Jenkins body from my slash when I got it. Pretty sure I test fitted it once.
Edit:
Yep just tried it
REAR mounts fit up exactly the same, FRONT mounts on a slash body are a couple mm's farther apart.
Also tried vise versa fitting a stock Pro4 body on a slash so because of the front body mounts on the pro4 being more in, I had to force the stock Pro4 body on my slash on.

Yes it would work, but the Traxxas Raptor (Raptor R is incompatible) also has bumpers that fit into the body, so if you want the correct look you’ll need to find someway to mount that bumper on. Would also work with different bumpers too but not as smoothly.

Yes. Most 1/10 scale SCT bodies have a generic fitment thing about them. Meaning, most SCT bodies will fit most SCT platforms. Platforms having adjustable body mounts, and a person able to do slight modifications... pretty much any SCT body can be made to work on any SCT. Having said that...
Your other post was about the "4 door Raptor R" platform body fitment.
