Who doesn't love the trucks! No one will probably admit to it, but I bet most Pez collectors have pushed one of these around and made "vroom vroom" noises. There are probably as many or more different variations to this dispenser than any other in the Pez world.
The first series of Trucks, or more commonly known as Truck A, had three different cabs (numbered 1, 4, and 16) which came in a multitude of colors. The main way you can identify a Truck A is that there is a single axle set of rear wheels. Different colors of cabs can bring different amounts of $$$.

Truck B's are easily identified by the double axle pair of rear wheels and the double-humped rear fender. The B series has three different cabs (8, 9, and 13) but weren't available in as many colors as the Truck A.
|  |
The Truck C series has five different cab styles (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and again were offered several colors. Truck C series are identifiable by their double axle set of rear wheels with a straight rear fender. There are some rare pricier versions that came with white wheels instead of black.
|  |
The Truck D series was available in 4 different cab designs (R1, R2, R3, and R4). Some people call these the DR series also. They are identified by their fixed axels on the front and back wheels, meaning that their wheels won't roll.

So if that is not confusing enough... There's more.
There are 2 more series, called the BR series and the CR series (CR series pictured here). A BR series truck has an R1, R2, R3, or R4 cab with rolling wheels and a double hump rear fender. A CR series truck would have an R1, R2, R3, or R4 cab with rolling wheels and a straight rear fender. The CR series is not any harder to find than the Truck C. The BR series is much harder to find and can bring big $$$.

This is the Rigs series, or some refer to it as the E series. Back to some real rolling wheels, pretty much everything about these are more realistic. There are also Tankers that were available overseas but not released in the US. |   |
There are a few trucks that contain advertising. The Nivea Truck (D series) was given out to the employees of the company for a family event, if i understand the story correctly. It came on a exclusive Nivea foriegn card. Walgreens and Walmart also had special ad trucks. They were E-series Rigs and they all came in exclusive packaging. The 2 variations of the Walgreens Rigs came in a special edition bag, and the 4 Walmart Rigs came on cards that were exclusive to these trucks. Be wary of the cola trucks (D-series) because as good as they look, they are fantasy and were not made by Pezco.

For you Nascar fans, there are E-series Rigs painted up like some of haulers of the more popular drivers. The 2 most sought after ones are probably the Daytona 500 and All-Star Race Haulers.

Anything with a Brazil stem is rare and going to bring big bucks, and the trucks are no different. They should always be a BR series truck (R1 thru R4 cab, rolling wheels, double hump rear fender). Interesting note: Wheels and axles from other series will not fit on a Brazil truck.

These little guys were sold in a 4-pack and marketed to be given out as children's party favors. They are not working dispenser (no spring and button inside). The cab tilts back and exposes a cavity in which Pez can be stored.
