The inspiration was a 1969 Autocar with a Blaw-Knox mixer that I saw for sale a several truck shows last fall. Also, I remember Foxon Readi-Mix as a local supplier growing up. Finally, I had a glue-bomb Autocar A64B that i really wanted to like but I messed it up pretty bad 30+ years ago. The hood, grill, front fenders, wheels and mixer came from Dave at AITM. I scratch built the mirror brackets, battery box, front bumper and a few other parts. I have to find/make the rear clip lights and brake lights on the back of the mixer, but I am calling this one done.
It was a fun build and the old A-car looks much better than she did a few months ago!
