Default Co-operation

As regards brakes and wheels, there was indeed a lot of cc-operation from 1938, and it appears that the designers from al sides had problems with fitting the ize of brakes required for military vehicles to the standard truck wheels available at the time.

Turningto M-H and Timken, this seems plausible to me as it appears M-H used Timken-Detroit components as did GMC. Some GMC, Chevrolet and export Oldsmobile trucks also used Timken axles in addition to Chevrolet ones. Would be interesting to get definitive answer.
