If you have 6 Daihatsus, try improving one of them into Daihatsu w/ tank+marines. If you have enough screws you can even try improving another into Special Type 2 Motorboat (Amphibious Tank). It would also be more safe if you prepare a seaplane fighter. I wouldn't really recommend upgrading Daihatsu crafts into armed versions right away as the uncertainty factor is simply too high for us to simply assume that we'll be needing them and sacrificing the extra 5% resource bonus in the process, which matters a lot when you're already past the soft resource cap. Akashi's Arsenal wouldn't go anywhere, and neither will the screws as long as you're frugal enough to keep them. On the other hand there's only so much time you have to prepare the resources, and every resources really counts.

Actually, even improving those Daihatsus for the post-cap resource bonus isn't really worth it, considering that the post-cap resource bonus is very negligible compared to the upgrade cost in the first place. Daihatsu's expedition effect caps at 20%, so he actually have 2 free (if we don't say "excessive") Daihatsus, not that much of a problem to upgrade 1 or 2 of them. You're also not gonna need 4+ of them on transport TFs, there's not gonna be so much space.

Pretty sure having 2 boosted-to-max-by-daihatsus expedition team would not be necessary, as most of us don't even have one. I personally have just 2 daihatsus. If a guy with six of them can't upgrade one, who can?

But yeah, I agree that you can do the upgrades later. The upgrading itself can be done in just a few clicks, while collecting the equipments needed in the progress can't. So maybe I should instead suggest the OP to prepare the equipments that the upgrade would require (12cm rocket launchers, 7.7 and 12.7 MGs, etc.).
