From the scale 1:34, for every one inch the scale model is the actual dimension is 34 inches.

The actual scale of the truck is 34 times more then the model.

Volume is measured in cubic units,

The volume of the actual truck would be the scale factor cubed.

Scale factor = 34

Volume = 34^3 = 39,304 times.
