I like the truck by Printed Bits, but the empty engine compartment gave it a little incomplete feeling.
So i searched some familiar sites for a suitable engine to bash into it and found this one on thingiverse - it's even actually a Chevy engine, although a little newer and stronger type that what was stock in these trucks :) 
I just split it in Prusaslicer, blocked some details too fine to print in this scale and added a few support blocks elsewhere.
There's a color change in the block - print the base plate in the same color you did your “floor-front”, then swap to something shiny. Two color changes on the filter, obviously.
You need to cut some more space in the bonnet, i dremeled mine, but i added a more elegant mod as a .3mf. (you still need to cut the hinges, after you glue them in.)
