I struggled to match the Milk Bottle to the Chassis/Fenders/Running Boards of the truck.
Then I noticed in photos that the Milk Bottle didn't fit on the real thing.
Filler pieces had been used to fill various gaps.
The Bottle doesn't necessarily contact at all locations (with the chassis).
So I decided not to worry, and I recut the hole in the chassis that receives the Milk Bottle
to make it a much simpler assembly.
Now, just center the Bottle and glue the central chassis tabs to it.

Other than some very small parts, reducing to 1/100 scale should not be too difficult.
I'd say the model is currently in the 1/50 to 1/60 range?
So, you would be shrinking by about half.
