Crismon (note the spelling - crimson he isn't) and the Collection No 1 pretty well cover most of the common trucks. Most enthusiasts should have both.
There are a few gaps though. Stuff like the T116 panel van, the VK's that were shipped to England ex-French contract, and in particular the Canadian RHD Dodges are very poorly covered. basically anything that wasn't US DOD direct sort of stuff. There are a good few photos of the factory around, and the Signal Corps site has some excellent shots of 3/4 and 1.5 tons being shipped. Probably enough source material still to do the definitive work, but basically crismon covered most of it.
