The US Army converted a Power Wagon to the Rolligon principle.

This was three large cylindrical air bags, one in front and two in the rear, that replaced the tires. They were huge. Ground pressure was low enough that you could drive over a reclining man and not harm him.

The truck looked like a WDX.

There is a photo of it in Fred Crismon's "US Military Wheeled Vehicles" book.
