Harold Coyle's "The Ten Thousand" is a retelling of the story as a
modern-era campaign - quite readable.

Fuel is easy - any gas station (at least, if you use decent engines).
For ammo, you could assume area-wide standard ammo (like NATO ammo

so scrounge from the enemy
Parts would be the hardest part.

And don't forget captured enemy vehicles, clearly (!) marked for
recognition
purposes.
