Re: CONVERTO DUMP TRAILER database UPDATED 1st PAGE
Very interesting, first Air Force Converto trailer I have seen.
Note the contract date on the data plate, March 17, 1951
That would indicate that Converto was still building these trailers at least six years after the war wats over?

Are the other Air Force Converto's on this list also manufactured 1951?

Re: CONVERTO DUMP TRAILER database UPDATED 1st PAGE
I have Converto serial number 0877681 with contract date 11-1-44. Says manufactured in 1945 but the date pad is blank
In 2017, I posted info and serial number to this list, Maurizio has my serial in the data base, but at that time I didn't post pictures of the trailer of data plate.
To update may original 2017 posting below are links to my data plate and Converto Trailer!
Thanks,

Re: CONVERTO DUMP TRAILER database UPDATED 1st PAGE
Doing the math on Converto production. Figured out that they cost $178.33 each for the Sept 44 contract and $159.25 for the November 44 contract. Price reduction could be speculated by me as the size of the order was increased from 1200 units in Sept to 4000 in november.
