AS far as I know all those things are made by hand by the person building the truck.

The model car section of your local hobby shop might have some stuff. I know at the Hobby Town USA in San Antonio, theres a selection of 1/24 & 1/18 scale jacks, air compressors, & other random shop things on a rack in that area.

Some model kits come w/ accessories like tools & guns, but buying a whole kit just for them is prolly too exspensive.

There are actually several aftermarket model car companies out there that make resin items & some of them have tools, emergency lights, & the like.

Making stuff from scratch in this scale isn't too hard, since the small size limits the amount of detail required. Styrene stock from Evergreen & Plastruct comes in all shapes & sizes & is real easy to work with.

There's a few things here:

And surfing the 'Bay in the model car section will turn up stuff like this from time to time:

Another good place to find stuff like this is a good doll house store. 1/12th scale doll house is the same as G scale trains and 1/24th scale cars. If it exists in real life, there is a doll house piece for it.
