1945 Airborne WWII Converto Dump Trailer

We were in gold country, in central California, hunting for a few things to bring home to the shop when we found this lovely Converto trailer, which is complete down to the last bit, and original.  Aside from needing to get the 75 year old dried cement out of the bed, this was a perfect one to restore. It even has both of the original BF Goodrich military issue tires, which are extremely rare. The dump bed is now cleared of the remnants of cement and is totally dent and rust free.

Original BF Goodrich tires- EXTREMELY rare

Even the center mini dump slot is there and straight.
