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.

For what it is worth, this is how Marmon-Herrington advertised about
their co-operation with Ford Canada:
