Ok - so I've spent some time on GL looking for stuff (boy that site could be better constructed!) - and one big question I've ended up with is: What do I use for a search string?

For example: I have found HMMWV parts listed as; hmmwv, hummer, humvee, hummvee, m998, m1025, m1026, etc. etc. etc.

If I am looking for a deuce what should I search by? M35a2 is obvious, but what about some other options? Since GL doesn't support partial search matches (ie a search for M35 resulting in a list including M35a2) what should I be using?

Am I making any sense?

I click on the two and a half ton trucks in the search section . It will bring up all the every Deuce old and new and almost everything in that classification A2 A3 and the 109s......

I use the advanced search and search by FSCs. Guess you need to know FSCs before this can help.

Use the word "military". Comes up with the vast majority of them.

Oops, my bad, I thought he said "CL" as in Craigslist.

You can use "truck" I guess, but you'll get all sorts of stuff. Same for "cargo".

Looks like you'll have to use a combination of the following:

M35A2, M35A1, M35A3, M35A2C, M109A3, Kaiser, AM General, etc.

Great advice - I was looking for the "Sarcastic Thanks" button so I could give you props, but it doesn't seem to be there.

Oh great - I thought you were messing with me and then you posted when I responded - now I feel like an ass... I could delete this, but that just seems wrong...

so now, Thanks for real.

Ok - so based on y'all's (plural possessive of you - southern style) feedback I've come to realize that my inability to locate lots was user error. I get it now. Thank you.
