Don't know, yanking the turret of a M1 and trying to replace with it with a Brad turret would tie up quite a bit of resources; for one thing you will have a different sized turret ring, now you might strip the ring from a Brad chassis, but it will still leave you with the problem of welding in enough armor to fill the gap in between the different sized rings as well as supporting the weight of the Brad turret...
