Die-cast Toys are sold in a variety of scale sizes. When purchasing a diecast
collectible toy it is important to have an understanding of the size of car or truck you
are purchasing. Scale size is just a simple reduction in size.
A truck that is a 1:24 scale means that it is 1/24th the size of the actual truck in "real
life". Therefore, a smaller numbered fraction like 1:2 scale or "1/2" would be half the
trucks actual size. This means that the larger the number is in the fraction, the smaller
the truck will be. A 1:4 scale truck would be "1/4" or 1 quarter the size of an actual
truck and so on.
Below is a chart with an estimate of scale sizes we offer.
Scale: Length:
1:1 60' semi trailer or actual size
1:24 30" semi trailer or 8.5" diecast car
1:32 22.5" semi trailer
1:43 16.75" semi trailer or 5" diecast car
1:53 13.5" semi trailer
1:64 11.25" semi trailer or 3" diecast car like hot wheels
