Ah, ha. If it's the one I remember, they did a cutaway of it in an annual. Two part beast with a nuclear powered engine. Big tank tracks on the back? I think the front separated and became an all terrain vehicle.

This entire Dredd storyline - The Cursed Earth thing where he has to deliver (a serum?) from one Mega City to another, was lifted lock stock from a Roger Zelazny story called Damnation Alley - see here:

The 2000 AD comic had a long running Judge Dredd story arc that was an adaptation of the story (with the journey in the reverse direction), in which Dredd and Spikes Harvey Rotten (the greatest Punk alive) journeyed across the Cursed Earth between Megacity 1 (on the U.S. East Coast) to Megacity 2 (on the West coast) to deliver a vaccine to the 2T(Fru)T virus.
