This page is devoted to Peterbilt 389 Keep the World Running Dry Van Set – New Ray 1:32, the exact scale model trucks sold under the New Ray record.

Confirmed facts versus assumptions
The source description says: “Peterbilt 389 truck in silver metallic with dry-van trailer and “Trucker Keep the World Running” graphics from New Ray Long Haul Truckers. This 1:32 scale diecast truck-and-trailer set is intended for collector display. Review the listing photos for the exact tractor, trailer and packaging. Item: SS-13453B.” This is useful evidence, but it is not expanded beyond what the listing supports. Missing dimensions, materials, compatibility claims or package contents remain open questions.
How to evaluate this product type
The most useful way to evaluate Peterbilt 389 Keep the World Running Dry Van Set – New Ray 1:32 is to separate identity from condition. Identity comes from the subject, scale or casting, finish, graphics, wheels and SKU. Condition comes from the actual photographed surfaces, packaging and moving parts. Mixing those two questions can lead to a correct model being described with the wrong condition.
For this listing, F977-SS-13453B should be saved with the gallery. That preserves the release-level evidence even if similar editions later appear under shortened titles.
Using the item with confidence
Similar diecast products often differ in small, high-value details. Review the wheel spokes, tire profile, base color, glazing, interior, license or race markings and package code. The aim is not to assign a grade from a distance but to confirm that the delivered item matches the release purchased.
Display and handling should follow the format: loose models need nonabrasive separation, packages need edge and blister protection, and project cars need a documented baseline before disassembly.
Why the exact photo set matters
The photographed item is part of the specification. With 3 images indexed, a buyer can compare color, form, labels, contents and visible condition before relying on a shortened title. Save the image that best shows the identifier F977-SS-13453B.
Pre-purchase checklist for this exact record

How to document it after purchase
The permanent record should answer three questions: what exact item was bought, what arrived, and how it was used or stored. The title and F977-SS-13453B answer the first; arrival photographs answer the second; project or collection notes answer the third.
Keeping those layers separate improves future comparisons and avoids unsupported grading.
Gift considerations
Gift buyers should match F977-SS-13453B to a known collection, project or preference. If size, scale, interface or exact version is uncertain, preserve the receipt and avoid opening fit-sensitive packaging.
