I spotted these old fellas on a fishin trip last weekend in Grand Coulee,Washington about a half mile from the dam.

 'Coulee Concrete' is what it says on the door. I like the little one, it's the smallest mixer truck I've ever seen! 

TT - Back in a day. These things made nothing but cash in the inner city areas. Still today there are many litte barrels like this is cities to service concrete repair type contractors for side walk and curb work, little steps and porch replacement. Saturday homeower delivery as well.

There are still plants that deliver Saturday and Sunday with these little things and it is nothing but cash money.

$200 and plus per yard.

If you put concrete in those old museum pieces you'll regret it.  Melt em down.  I started out driving a 55 Ford with a 4 yd Jeager mixer.  I had a Ford mechanic on call at all times.

cool pictures,  How did you fishing?

And the early 50's in downtown Denver

Belt. I meant little barrel trucks that are newer. Not what TT is showing. Yea they probably would melt.

what about the fish? new school,old school or what?

Those old jewels were before power steering and had hydrovac brakes.  Took real manpower to drive those.  TB  I met a guy from Cincy that only has 4 yd trucks and 24-7 delivery and just takes what the big guys don't want.  $200+ per yd and making big bucks.

yea that was me holding the chute in that pic before i became a operator

haha. These where nice! Many.. On that old pic from you from the 50's .. If they would put that drum even more to the back they might aswell put it on a trailer!! There's your powersteering!!
