Any idea where I may be able to find a 1:43 to 1:50 1950 +/- domestic cement truck? Thankx

The only ones I know of are made by Conrad of Germany but its a Mack R model cab of the late 1960's. There is some on eBay now but the price is high due to the guys that collect construction equipment. I know your asking for a 1950's +/-, but those are the only domestic mixer trucks I've ever known.

You might want to take a look at eBay. Check out this item number:
181364100439. It may be a bit earlier than you want, and it needs work. But, it may fit your needs.
Prior to the early 60's most concrete was mixed on site in a batch mixer. google earth and look up READY Mixed concrete Bellevue, Ne. if you zoom in right at the gate next to US 75 you should be able to see a vintage on site mixer If I remember correctly it would mix 3 yards a batch. this would be loaded into a dumptruck transported wherever dumped and shoveled by hand into wheel barrows and moved where needed really labor intensive and must be done quickly! That's why my dad and all his friends had popeye arms and could outwork us young welps day after day
