Most fundamentalists prefer something a bit less flexible. Of the evangelicals and assorted fundamentalists I knew, they all considered the "KJA" to be the "sounding nice, but not God's literal will" bible.
Personally I am very fond of the KJA version, not least because of its literary merits. But I do find the fact that the vast majority of it (more than 3 quaters) is word for word Tyndale means that it receives undue credit.

I'm sure they were viewed as progressive as compared to the Catholic based doctrine of the day.
