Like the North Pole in the cab, figured you would like this photo given your affinity for internationals.

What is the story of this old dog? Is it for sale?

It is an old Jefferson Ready Mix truck based in St. Louis, was last on the road in 1995. Sitting in a lot in the city with a lot of other old equipment but none is advertised as for sale.

Don't know where I came up with Breckerman other than I was in the Navy with a guy with that name. Breckenridge has had yellow drums for as long as I can remember. Laclede had red mixers and company trucks marked up a lot like the taxis in the 1960's till mid 70's IIRC. I left St. Louis after grandpa retired, (Monsanto) in 1977. Don't remember the concrete names you mentioned which have folded and also cannot remember the company that ran almost exclusively REO mixers that were white and blue in color. As a very young kid I went on a lot of deliveries with "Otto", (neighbor) whom worked for them many years. 

Those blue and white mixers would either be south county concrete or Jefferson ready mix.

I have checked their site a few times after the release.. I was questioning why there was no mention of it yet. It seems this was almost a soft release to gain interest in the new model. Are they not ramped up yet for production?

They are going to start manufacturing in the fall with the first trucks being delivered by the end of the year.

Think that is the first time in recent memory I've seen a truck run on the road with the front tires protruding the hood without rubber flares installed?

See it here often, can get pics of other trucks if you want.
