Hi Its the for runner of the Oshkosh ,you may have to change the front axels , its a four wheel boggie that turns ,you can use rear Tamiya axels all round then use a servo to steer the front .

If you haven't already seen this; it might work for you.

I wanted to build the M983 tractor version, so I only needed the front end. I asked the seller, and he was willing to sell me just the front half. That made it cheaper than buying the whole thing. The styrene is about 3mm thick, and really well put together, (it's already assembled, so I had to carefully cut off the roof in order to add an interior....though I haven't done that yet). Am going to be using TLT axles and RC4WD wheels & tires. -Mike

Depending on what era/army/size you have in mind, I really like the look of the MAZ-537:
