One Guntrack i have in stash waiting is M35A1 "Nancy" by AFV which is a very nice kit and also many articles around for building it. Most of animals tracks are highly accurate conversions on main types of trucks (as happened in real life) and dont come in ready kits. I va also asked him in order to start a Guntrack convertion. I hope i helped a lil ..

Goose and Matt have giving two very good pieces of advise to start. You can also use the AFV Club M-35A2 kit as well as the Revell M-34 kit for starters. If you go to my gallery I have many photos of actual gun trucks there. I also have diagrams and dimensions for some of the more famous gun trucks. If you build the Nancy first, you can get some very good information from our Gunnies web site. He has done a very good article for correcting this kit. If you want to build one of the box armor 2 1/2 ton trucks I can help you with the info you would need. You can also buy the resin conversion sets from either Hobby Fan or Legends if they still have some.
