I am not sure how long trucks are so I don’t know how to figure the scale of this truck.

It is 7 14" so?

I have an Ace Hdwr Mack that’s 7 1/2" long. Also a flat bed truck. Online research says it’s 1:30. I’m converting mine to a pick up rail truck to change the scale.

Length is a poor way though.

I’m making the cab to fit a scale human …

There is no good answer for what you are asking. I am going to guess 1/30 or smaller for the following reasons.

This is clearly a toy truck. It is not true in design or detail to any actual vehicle. Companies manufacture these to avoid paying any royalties. That means every comparison is ambiguous and any measurements are a best guess. The listing only gives the length which in this case is almost meaningless as these kinds of trucks were manufactured in various chassis and bed lengths to suit the customer. It is probably loosely based on a British prototype since the advertisement says it is manufactured in England. Regardless it will be similar to a Ford Model AA. There are a lot more Ford models available than British models so that makes it the best example for the comparison.

Here is a British Bedford.

and a Ford Model AA

Since the footstep ends behind the cab rather than going all the way to the rear we know it is as described a “delivery truck” as apposed to a pick-up. The delivery trucks were longer than the pick-ups which makes this a model of a larger vehicle. This is because 7 1/4" to 7 1/2" is comparable to most 1/24th- 1/25th scale pickups.

Here are some examples of both truck types.

1929 Ford Model A by Liberty Classics measuring at 6" and advertised as being 1/25th

1940 Ford Pick-up by Motormax measuring at 8" and claiming to be 1/24th

1931 Model AA By Ertl measuring at 8" advertised as 1/24th

1938 GMC by Danbury Mint no measurement info found, Advertised as 1/24th

1927 Ford Model TT by Danbury Mint no measurement info found Advertised as 1/24th

The last thing I can compare it to is 1/30 scale models.

1925 Kenworth by Amoco measuring 6 3/4", advertised as 1/30 scale.

1953 Ford Delivery Van measuring 7 1/2" advertised as 1/30

You did not tell us what scale you are looking for or hoping the truck is but if 1/24th or 1/30 is your goal there are better detailed, more realistic models readily available at a comparable or even lower price.

If you are looking for information on vehicles for 1/20.3 you can find an extensive review here: https://cibolalmrr.com/vehicles/120-scale-vehicles/

Looks much like a Ford AA truck to me too! I often find the need to scale things. Knowing actual dimensions and or at least the dimension of a specific item allows me to factor a scale therein.

Ford AA trucks had a 131.5" wheelbase and typically used 6.00x20 dually rear wheel-tires. The cab scales at 45-1/16" in length, the rear of the cab to the bumper is approximately 9’-3".

The truck you depict appears to have a flatbed of maybe 10’ in length (knowing the cab to bumper is 9’-3" long)… OAL = 19’ or so.

7.25"L x 32 = 232, 232/12 = 19.33’ My guess is 1/32 scale or so.
