Looks like a fair price.

“WWII Converto brand dump trailer that was towed behind the jeeps for construction work on the islands for runways and the like. It is in excellent condition except for the tow hitch as the eye was removed and a fork hitch installed. Original tailgate and data tag. To operate you pull the lever for the tailgate (with rope from jeep or tractor if you want), then you pull the lever for the dump lock. It is engineered to dump via gravity, very simple and rugged.

What can you buy today for a dump trailer of this high quality and historic value for this price?”

“2 Wheel, 1/2 Ton Airborne was manufactured during WW II by Converto Manufacturing Company. It was designed for use with jeeps and light trucks for hauling tools, equipment, and other supplies in support of Airborne Engineer operations. This trailer was distinguished by having the ability to tilt and dump its contents through a rear tailgate.

the condtion of the dump trailer is in mint condition there’s a couple rusty parts on it but not bad for being over 70yrs plus. it works perfectly..no paperwork.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.

“This 1948 T3-C (S/N#18707) is as an excellent restoration candidate. There’s very little bad about the trailer. I’d say the biggest deal are some non-stock holes drilled into the body. Easily filled back in with MIG/TIG and grinder. The floor is very solid but intervention is suggested to stop the surface rust which is just beginning to pit the steel. There is no rust though anywhere on this trailer. Correct rims, original tires hold air. Springs in perfect shape. Top rails are straight as an arrow. Fenders are in fantastic shape. Stake pockets are not bent. Nice tail gate. No bondo anywhere. The data plate is there but not easy to read.

I have all of the internals for the fulton coupler which come with it, however I do not have the correct 8 sided knob (I have a 4 sided knob which will get the job done). The trailer and tailgate chains are not original but easily procured. The rear lights (operable) and reflectors are not original (yet functional) and will take some time and searching for the correct parts….but that’s half the fun!

Blaine spotted this Spencer trailer. I’m not familiar with the brand. Here’s a bit of history.

“New tags, bearings, and swivel jack. Has been done with bed liner, new wiring, and led lights last year. The lights still need installed. Great trailer.”

This trailer is located at Camp Pendleton, California. If someone is interested in it, contact James King at  dragonmaster3529@gmail.com.  James King, the curator of the Mechanized Museum in Camp Pendleton and the trailer is located at the bone yard of the museum.

This looks like a K-38 cable trailer. And, it is built by the same company (Highway Trailer), but the tag and wheels suggest to me this is a pre-WWII model. The Highway trailer company of Edgerton, Wisconsin, began as a wagon works. In 1917 it shifted to trailers, large and small. This one would look better behind a vintage spoked vehicle from the 1920s.
