I pick up small fish tanks at yard sales and second hand stores. The older ones have chrome framework and look quite good. Just clean them out with vinegar to remove any water spots and place them upside down over the truck. Yu can put shelves in some for multiple trucks. and have a miniature display case.

The AMT Autocar size dump trucks will fit into the AMT 1/18 scale car cases. I use those a lot, the only problem is the tall exhaust stacks on the tractor.

Here's one solution: Get a 1/18th scale display case and build an extension. I used plexiglas cut in 2" strips and plastruct angles about 2 3/4ths long for the corners. Measure carefully and glue it all together, put it on the display base and put the clear cover on top. Of course you can make it taller or shorter as needed. It won't be very pretty but it will keep the dust off your truck.
