Shopping cart content field options

Perhaps someone could help me with this.

I see on shopping cart contents page- Qty. - Item Name - Unit - (______) Total.

Is there an admin or other way to make Model numbers, Manufacture or other fields show as well throughout the checkout process, at least until shipping has been chosen? I can't seem to find it in admin.

My motive is not for the model number. Not knowing enough about coding, I thought I would use this column to show items that need ground shipment, such as paints. I have already put warning everywhere I can to "encourage" buyers to choose ground, but they still pick the wrong shipping choices. Forcing them to ship by ground if they buy certain products would be better, but that may be too much coding for me to figure out.

If they see "ground shipment" in the shopping cart contents, or better yet a little truck symbol, this may encourage them just a little more.

And as a side note, as far as the truck icon, I put one in Manufacture just to see what happens and added it to a product, but where is it suppose to show up?
