I love everything about it, especially the horn.
Great find.
What's the light blue/silver motor in the background?
To the left of the yellow one, looks like it has Fiesta rear lights but doesn't look like a Fiesta.
What's the yellow car, for that matter?

Both looks like Quantums to me. Both are Fiesta based Silver one is a later H4   Yellow is the earlier 2+2  |

All of the cars featured above are most excellent.
Edited to add: Is the cab roof actually a digger bucket? It looks like it might be which just adds that bit extra awesomeness to the build.

Yeah, I think the roof used to be a bucket. Maybe had the sides chopped off a bit to allow access?
There must've been drink involved in this. Lethal homebrew, probably.

id wager its a reversed dumper truck. basically they're swapped the seats and controls back to front on one to make it look like a hot rod pickup. shortened the bucket a bit to give room for em. then fabbed the roof up to make it look like a digger bucket(it wont be, they're like 6mm steel!)

Remember the days when sex was safe and motorsport was dangerous. Vintage bling always attracts pussy.  |

Looks fantastic! I love it. Makes me want to build a hot rod even more than I already do! Yet more proof that you don't need to go fast to have fun!

Yes, it's an old 2wd dumper, they were front wheel drive & rear wheel steer.
Usually with a single cylinder Lister Petter diesel engine!
Looks awesome & there's one sat in our yard at the moment doing nothing...

Awesome.! what a great thing to do with an old Thwaites dumper. Reminds me of when I was a kid, used to see them all the time.

I'd love to know what they've done to the gearbox to make it work that way round, or it'll have three reverse & one forward gear

id imagine its old enough a banjo-type axle, so youd be able to just flip the ring gear over to the other side of the pinion.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.
