At one time there was a plan to up-gun the M48 by putting a complete M60 turret on it.
It would have been the M48A4.
Only a couple were made when the M60A2 program collapsed and there wasn't surplus M60 turret production available for the M48 idea.
But in the lead up to T2K...
We have an M60 upgrade that gets an M1A1 turret, freeing up an M60A3(TTS) turret.
We have M48's and M60's getting the Teledyne remote gun system, freeing up both M48 and M60 turrets.
It stands to reason that the M48A4 idea gets resurrected because there's more M48 hulls than Teledyne turrets and it's faster and easier than the M48A5 conversion.
I really need to get this organized.
