That IS a 1:1 truck. Notice the wheels are different than the model truck. It's the truck I used for inspiration to paint the model. Sorry for the confusion.

This is actually my ride. I have been trying to match this 2011 Ford "Golden Bronze Metallic" (brown) color for a while. I finally got close with this Bronco body.

The truck with the chrome on the fender wells in not my model. The chrome racetrack-trim on the model is done with chrome vinyl pinstripe.

It's supposed to be straight.
Best I could find is maybe from a 25,480L, 14 cylinder Wärtsilä RTA96-C


They work a little different to conventional engines.

The top of the connecting rod is not attached directly to the piston.
The top of the connecting rod attaches to a "crosshead" which rides in guide channels.
A long piston rod then connects the crosshead to the piston.
Total engine weight 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length 89 feet
Height 44 feet
Maximum power 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm
