    In my conversions of modern vehicles:
Jeeps & missile carriers are size 1;
M113 APC is size 2;
M2A3 Bradley IFV and Warrior IFV are size 3;
M60 Tank is about size 4;
M1 Tank is size 5 - possibly size 6;
US Marines "AmTrak" APC is size 5 - due to infantry team capacity.

I use this rule of thumb:
Divide vehicle weight by 10 tons to get vehicle size class.
