  I finally got around to rendering this:

The side mirrors are basically exact duplicates of part 2540:

and the red steering wheel, visible through the windshield, is nearly
identical to part 3829:
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3829

but both of these elements were re-written from scratch for the clone
library.  I may include a note in their descriptions indicating that these
are some of the recently contested elements in the Coko/LEGO patent lawsuit...

Unfortunately, I haven't managed to duplicate the weird milky-white/pink
color of the truck, but at least the design is right (well, sans decals...)
