I'm trying to use CCK to do this, but I reckon I'm barking up the wrong tree
From the admin panel, I want to be able to do the following.
1) Create a content type called Customer's Vehicle
2) This content type contains three things, a description, a title, 4 images, and the category it belongs under.
The problem is, I have no idea how to embed 4 image upload fields into this content type - description (body) and title are provided by default, but there's no way I can find to add image fields? Is there some way I can write a custom type within the framework of Drupal or does a solution exist? It's a pretty basic thing
Please help it's driving me crazy

imagefield module
There are a number of add on modules that extend the field types available for CCK. You can find the complete list here: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/88. The imagefield module supports images.
Thumbnail generation
How would I deal with thumbnail generation?
You need the Image Module,
You need the Image Module, which will automatically tie-in to the imagefield and create thumbnails. You have to configure what size you want the thumbnails - I believe that's a setting in imagefield.

It is pretty simple, here is a list of stages or steps you should take while creating the content!
Drupal 5.1
1. Title
2. Body - Where you need to insert the images put this tag
3.For Input Format click the bottom box "Full HTML"
And follow on as usually.
Not quite what I'm after I
Not quite what I'm after
I know how to add images to a basic content type, what I want is for other users to be able to easier, by simply uploading 4 images, adding a title and description in a form, and then letting the CMS handle page creation and templating.
CCK is like drupal in that
CCK is like drupal in that it's modular - CCK is the engine and includes a couple sample fields, but you have to download and install the other field types separately. In this case you're looking for ImageField.
Check out this list of CCK addons if there's any other fields you might need.
Hope that helps!
