  Actually, for a 155, you need an EIGHT horse team.

Take a peek at Panzershop:
http://www.panzershop.cz/inshop/

filter by era-WWI, and you'll find 1/35 kits of 2 different Italian 
trucks by Cri.El, and a Mack Bulldog.
Also available elsewhere (http://www.redlancers.com/minilistout.asp? 
subcat=1671&mfg=570&page=1) are 3 Berliets, a Nash Quad, and 2 Pierce 
Arrow cargo trucks from CGM/Adrian. Better have deep pockets.

You might want to compare the Azimut kit with the DES kit of the 
155mm in WWI guise-#35046

and to make it *really* authentic, you'll need the 6-horse team to 
pull it-#35071
