Yea,I vote for a wiki.Maybe just have a few photos of different angles for trucks,trailers,cars,etc along with basic info like engine specs,Makers,years produced.Nothing too indepth like history of the vehicles or so forth.Just basic this is what it is and came with info so if we come across something we have no clue what the M number is and there is no picture in the ads.

I'd be happy to upload my class/type lists for people to add pictures to if someone could tell me how. I can't include the pics I have that correspond because I don't remember where most of them came from (Probably from various threads right here on SS, but that doesn't allow me to republish them.)

I've got 80 some and they all fit in one garage.
Mostly 1/35 scale.
And the "toys-r-us" jingle doesn't work on model half-tracks, just so's ya know.
In my own files, I have taken this list, broken it down by Tracked, Wheeled, and trailers; added some (very significant) missing wheeled vehicles; and further organized the wheeled by class/type/era.

Here's one of my lists: the G741/M37 family of vehicles. It is one of the shorter lists out of about 20. Other lists combine manufacturers/eras to keep the total number of lists manageable.
G741
M37 Family of Vehicles
Does not include Canadian (CDN) production.
Hey Guys !! I was looking through the list of truck photos and came across this Vehicle chart maybe this is something that will help a lot of guys to identify trucks !! he one thing I did notice with this chart is that it has left out all of the M809 Series trucks !!! I hope this helps !!

You can always download TM 43-0001-31 from the TM section. It had TACOM Data sheets that cover a multitude of vehicles. It's a great desktop reference.
I just visited the TM link under RESOURSES... Didn't find TM 43-0001-31 though. I'm a newbie and may not have a grasp of the orders as give, Sir! Any assistance would be appreciated
Thanks for shedding some light on the topic.
