The truck is the Alvis Stalwart.

Another interesting thing about nuclear blasts (or even large FAE or thermobaric blasts) is that they produce two shock waves. One is from the initial burst, when the air at ground zero is blown out; the other happens about a second later, as all that air that was blown out rushes back in to the low pressure area caused by the first shock wave.
