idea

no no no, Kübelwagen? go for the awesome Schwimmwagen:-)

Anyways, if you look at earlier armored cars, they were litterally civillian cars with welded on armor, should be easy to get some inspiration from this one for instance:

I cant really draw, but willing to try to make a design that will work, as long as you have someone who can refine it:-)

in addition, what about some innovative weaponry? electrified armor plating(internal generator) a "plow" in the front to...well plow hostiles:-)
or how about the incredibly cool archimedes cannon!
As far as i know that has never been used in a movie!i think...

Made a quick layout for my idea.

Drew in gunports, as i have no idea of what weaponry etc and how many there are.

angular armor, doors welded, hatches cut in roof.

2 things that i couldnt show in the pic:a) Wheels, using regular wheels is ridiculous, as an armoured pickup that cant move is going to have a really really bad day... Have an idea of making a wheel made of a modified rim, coated with the tirerubber.bumpy,but a bullet wont ruin it.

b) Low center of gravity. An armored truck needs to be high enough that it will not get problems on obstacles, BUT this gives it a very high center of gravity(especially with a pillbox/turret on the back)
This would lead to terrible steering, and another potentially bad day in rough terrain. so widen the axels
