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 )
Alexander ◊ 2005-10-22 17:52	Good idea. If its important it goes in the 'model' field, else into the 'extras'.
antp ◊ 2005-10-22 18:08	Done But I made an error and maybe lost the "year" field of this GMC, if there was one -- Last edit: 2005-10-22 18:09:50
Alexander ◊ 2005-10-22 18:09	I'll put it back in. And I will go through those vehicles I posted and update the information ... will take a little while
antp ◊ 2005-10-22 18:13	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
