Donald Judd's 1972 DODGE POWER WAGON
The man was a minimalist so of course he liked our sort of truck: clean, bare, basic. Thanks to Thomas McLaughlin for noting this story about Evan Hughes and Judd's truck aesthtetic in the NYT.
As a person who has done his considerable share of desert vehicular off-highway peregrinations over the years this NYT description of DJ's truck gave me big grins and a whole other insight into what he must have been up to down there...he knew what he was doing, that's for sure, and I can just imagine the country that rig saw. Including [sorry, dude] some seriously mountainous terrain.
