Is there a way to determine the year of the Converto Trailer with out the Data Plate? Mine has taillights, very rough getting ready to start ground up restoration... Thanks

Hi! thank you for the new record!... and, sorry, but with Convertos doesn't work this way: the date is not a delivery or building date... is the contract date and thus it's normal for all the trailers built under the same contract to have the same date... 8)

I'm adding on first page the updated list!

...maybe, it's better to keep this topic clear of requests and posts other than about the Converto's serial numbers, data plates etc... :roll:

Just found a 1951 Converto USAF K8035 Serial# 4348 right up the street from me here in Prineville,OR. Trying to aquire it now. It is missing the gate release rod and handle, the landing leg, and has had the axle replaced at some point. It has had a couple bubba repairs, but appears to be in overall great condition. trying to post pics.

Ok member of my Unit picked up a trailer.

This trailer had no visible iD or data plates.

After stripping the trailer down to frame, I discovered a small brass plate wired to inner frame....removed and discovered two sets of numbers.... one set I identified as the trailers USA #.

Here is the info for the trailer

1/2 Ton. Converto Airborne dump.

06140981

We assume the date of delivery is Mar 1943, we do not know day!

Owners name : SSG Eric Raber
Also trailer is owned by a Airborne Combat Engineer out of Fort Bragg NC U.S.A.
