Can a truck's chassis even take the recoil from a 120mm mortar? I've been parked next to a 120mm mortar in an M113 chassis before and watched it kick the hull into the ground every time it lobbed a basketball downrange.
I think it'd need some hoist that lowers the baseplate onto the ground, but 105mm howitzers are being mounted on humvees with stabilizing jacks & I've gotta assume those generate a bunch more recoil
