Thank you JV johnv, You might want to try downloading this scale conversion program found on the 87th Vehicle Club site: www.1-87vehicles.org/restricted/scalecalc.phpThe instructions are on the link page.

Mark: That's the one I was going to suggest; but, I forgot where I had found it.

PS - There's another one, again I forget where, that you print for the size you are looking at (this requires you to know the prototype dimensions). Say you have a prototype truck that is 16' long. You print out a chart (looks like a cone) for 16' you slide your model down until each bumper touches the sides of the cone and simply read off the number which is the scale.
I bet a search would produce many programs.
