He did painstaking research to make sure he got the truck right. The bed is full of all that documentation. Ken regularly drives it to PRR events. You can find many photos of his truck on the web but here is one he sent me:
Ken is a friend, so I built two models of his truck. I gave him one, the other is on my layout:
The color is actually quite close to that of the real truck.

Wow, John. You do amazing work. I'm especially taken with the PRR Ford. The details like the black rubber seal around the windows are great. Looking at the 1:1 restoration, it's interesting how the company marked the truck with weight and size/pressure? metrics for use and maintenance -- almost as thought it was a rail car or engine. Maybe that's why it was the "Standard of the World" :-). Those lights (?) on the fenders are something I've not seen on those particular Fords.
