The model was converted from GTA San Andreas in Zmodeler and SketchUp. All parts were spliced for printing on my Delta printer with a small bed (19 cm diameter) to reduce support material. They must be glued together with superglue or ABS juice. I replaced the plastic leaves with stainless steel, which I cut from a spiral spring. You can use 3D printed leaves for running or as a sample to cut new ones from metal.

You can buy N30 motors separately because the plastic case is useless and motors must be mounted in the 3D printed gearbox case. (ZIL has a longer wheelbase than original WPL truck). Gears are not very strong (look at photos), I used replacement from a N20 gearbox 6V 200 rpm. You can also use that N20 motors in this truck, but it has less power and needs to add some spacers to the gearbox case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q_por8iOFg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUr58-wrNyM
