Pick-up truck dispersed custard at junction (8)

I believe the answer is:

dustcart

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pick-up truck' is the definition.
'dustcart' can be an answer for 'truck' (dustcart is a kind of truck). I am not certain of the 'pick-up' bit.

'dispersed custard at junction' is the wordplay.
'dispersed' indicates an anagram.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'junction' becomes 't'.
'custard' anagrammed gives 'dustcar'.
'dustcar'+'t'='DUSTCART'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dustcart that I've seen before include "Refuse collector" , "Refuse vehicle" , "Vehicle for collecting rubbish" , "Rubbish-collecting vehicle" , "Council vehicle" .)
