If that tank was full of beer, it might be quite attractive...

It is a so called water wagon, used to spray water. As far as I know they are used to keep the dust down at road building or other construction sites.

The vehicles construction is similar to a scraper. This one here looks more like the Euclid S18 scraper, the 26SH is smaller. I cannot say what the official name for this water wagon is.

I think that this vehicle deserves 3 stars. Why?
Because it is used at the road block, then again to keep the New Mexico Sheriff at bay, and it is used at the camp where Rubber Duck meets the Governer, as a portable shower for the truckers, then, at last, when the convoy, for Duck's "Funeral :D takes off at the end?
Anyone second that notion :??:

it's a 1978 Euclid 26SH they were custom made in 1977 & 1978 like that, but because of when this movie was filmed it's probably most likely a 1978 Euclid 26SH

This is not a Euclid. It is a 1960's Michigan. Though a bit hard to tell I reckon it is a 310, possibly a 210. Never saw a Euclid painted yellow with blue hubs. The blue hubs were a Michigan trait.

It seems dumb to think it would be in a convoy of trucks.

This is a Michigan 310. Notice the blue wheels, the placement of the air filter, and the squared off front frame and rounded cowl above the headlights.
