About this piece

A 1950's Dodge Power Wagon recast as a flatbed hauling a potable water tank and industrial plumbing equipment, riding on a custom leaf spring suspension system designed and tuned by me.

The water tank is constructed from small plastic bottles and features a sealed empty interior chamber which creates a small area inside the larger tank that I partially filled with water, to achieve visible sloshing movement as the truck is driven.
