A mix of washers would not be incorrect. Washers were mixed and matched over the service lifetime of these trucks as "Joe" used whatever washers were on hand in the motor-pool shop .. That's one reason you may find a mix of washers on these beasts. My own 53 M37 saw service with the Army until...

Started Singling out my M818 today (1600's) .. got my front wheels on and love the look .. but I was wondering if anyone else mounting 1600'ss has had any clearance issues (Rubbing during turns) with the Pittman arm (drivers side) or the hydraulic assist cylinder (passengers side) .. Did not...
LOL .. its a lot of work for this tired and much worn out old grunt / earth pig!

Regards order of march .. Wow that's an interesting question .. many FM's on Armor or Mech infantry will show the commander / CMD Vehicle following the first element in the column .. There is no set rule on...
Concur on the cylinder / master cylinder replacement .. just finished a rebuild on the brake system on my 53-M37 ..Alabama truck, so no significant rust .. but every cylinder was pitted when I tore them down and the amount of honing I would have had to do to smooth them out would have brought...
