Duncan1800 I like lots of different trucks, but I'm based in the USA which limits me somewhat. I do agree about the need for consistency among truck articles and will do what I can to help fix it.

Rotten Stone (vintage Volvo and Scania) Fabio^Talk Definitely agree, there needs to be a more uniform article structure on trucks and i think a project may accomplish this. G®iffen (Semi-participating. Basics om new European models, truck purposes, finding suitable pictures, translating from Scandinavian + eventually German texts) Hasannur OK, I'm interested and willing to help Tepoo (I'll probably be semi-participant like G®iffen but I definitely agree there should be better consistency amongst lorry related articles. Interested about truck manufacturers from Northern Europe and on more general view keeping articles well formed.) --HybridBoy 11:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC) --Hencetalk (talk) 10:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC) John Carter (talk) 17:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Dionysus_ab I'll try to help.

- {{truck-stub}} - for stub articles about trucks
