Next to the nickname 'Deuce-and-a-Half' this truck was also called 'Jimmy'.

The GMC CCKW-352 came with either hardtop or softtop, short or long wheelbase.

Almost identical versions were built by International (M-5) and Studebaker (US6).

That makes a long name with lots of parts :/
Maybe for such cases it would be better to add an extra field.
So we would have:
- make = GMC
- model = CCKW 352
- extra = 2½-ton 'Deuce-and-a-Half'
this last field would not be used for a search link (see above, it generates lots of possible search links :/)

Good idea. If its important it goes in the 'model' field, else into the 'extras'.

Done ;)

But I made an error and maybe lost the "year" field of this GMC, if there was one

I'll put it back in.

And I will go through those vehicles I posted and update the information ... will take a little while ;)

I already modified two tanks of this movie, but I'll let you make the changes since you know better than me what is really the model and what is extra info on the model ;)
