as bearings wear and need adjusting the gear lash needs adjusting. plus if it was ever done by the army it is wrong.

Does not matter how you do it results will be the same. It is very easy to do.

truck will not be drivable, no power.

much easier to just measure the distance to the wheel bearing nut and add or remove shims.

I have seen so much stupid things done on trucks by military 'mechanics', they clearly don't sometimes know what they are doing.
