1949 Peterbilt 380 Model Diecast Truck

The very striking thing I noted about this diecast truck is its old rugged look- as it was sitting on my table -while still attached in the confinement of inner packaging-I can not ignore to appreciate its sleek design and miniature body with its one exhaust pipe and a head light on each side of the bumper. The Orange color of the cab is also giving a pleasing contrast with its white roof.


The cab is built in a way which provides a true feeling of old truck body with thick metal sheet. The sleek nose of the cab is far stretched, I guess in those time, engines were thin and long.

The trailer is made of plastic and has the color of green. I think, they tried to make the trailer looks like wood which is painted in green with wood-grains-like-effect on the flatbed surface.

The trailer also has 6 hay bales load on the flatbed. The bales are removable. One thing I really missed is that the doors of the cab are not open able.

• Approximate length of the truck is 15 inches, from front of the cab to back of the trailer.
• Exact length of the cab (only) is 6.25 inches.
• Exact length of the Trailer (only) is 11 inches.
• Exact length of the gift box is 18 inches- (in case you want to know)
• The diecast truck has 18 wheels - 1 inch in diameter.
• Scale 1:43

Diecast Trucks Scales for Dummies

"How big this truck is?" Almost, we receive this question every day dozen of times. We all have difficulty to understand the relation between a scale and the true measurement of any diecast trucks. Today, I am trying to elaborate how scale works with diecast trucks.

1) First thing First: Higher the number, smaller the truck is. So a toy truck built at 1:32 scale is bigger than 1:43 scale truck, ultimately 1:43 scale is bigger than 1:64 scale diecast truck. Check the picture below: Showing three aligned diecast trucks are standing with thier respective scales.



Below is an ineqality equation for some popular diecast truck's scale:

1:32 > 1:43 > 1:50 > 1:58 > 1:64 > 1:87

2) Two different diecast replicas, having same scale, may not necessarily have the same measurements. Like Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla in real life have different measurements , so is true with their replica at same scale.

3) When you read a scale, it has to be read in a correct manner. Such as 1:32 scale will read as "One Is To Thirty two", and NOT as "one thirty two". One One can also write the same scale as 1/32 scale, which will read as "One By Thirty two" or "One over Thirty Two". It would be misleading if 1:32 scale reads as 132 scale. As it would implies a replica which is 132 time smaller than its real counterpart. Remember that scale is a proportion so it must be shown or read in ratio and not otherwise.

Diecast Tow Truck Hauling 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

Another combination product is American theme diecast truck - Peterbilt 379 model- hauling a 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. The diecast truck is manufactured by Jada Toys at 1:32 scale, while Chevrolet Diecast pickup is made by Maisto Toys Inc at 1:25 scale.

The diecast two truck features opening doors and hood, Telescoping tow boom and Working Hooks and Cables. Approximate measurement is 11x5x3 inches. It comes in four assorted colors: Red, Black, White and Blue. It used to be Silver color instead of white but not anymore.


Although, this diecast tow truck has good functionality for towing, I still wish it does not have elastic towing cables as it requires more efforts from kids to hook the end with the towed cars. In comparison, diecast tow truck from NewRay has regular towing cable and thus require little difficulty. Anyhow, my personal preference still goes with diecast tow truck from Jada as it is more attractive and robust than NewRay's. Besides they have four eye catching colors, while Newray's tow truck comes only in black color.


Anyway, 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup - measure in inches: 7 3/4" x 3" x 3"- is combined with one of Peterbilt 379 model diecast tow truck. The following is a video clip for closer look.
