All trucks and trailers use the same size wheels. There is really no easy way to represent this in GURPS Vehicles; I have chosen to use wheel HP (with all vehicles using the same structure) to represent this. It probably would be more accurate to use wheeled volume (divided by the number of wheels) to represent this, but VE2 is somewhat unclear on just what all is included in a wheeled subassembly (it appears that not just the wheels, but steering and suspension systems are included, which aren’t necessarily proportional to the number of wheels).
Also, for the van trailers, I have assumed that the space from the body and superstructure can be combined to form one large cargo space. This is not technically legal under VE2 rules, but it is reasonable (for example, to reconstruct many WWII assault guns and certain other vehicle combinations (M113 and M577, the Scorpion and most of it's derivatives, etc.), you need to combine space from the body and superstructure).
