WWII converto airborne trailer on GSA

[MWMULES]

There is a WWII converto airborne dump trailer on GSA auctions in Ga. It looks like it is missing the tail gate but that would be easy to fab. This needs to be saved as they are very hard to find. It is listed as , Trailer, jeep type.

And people say all the WWII surplus is no longer auctioned off!

Whoo-hoo got it! One more piece of WWII steel saved! The jeep guys over at G503 must have been distracted by the inaugeration.

Great save! What did it run you?

For your restoration pleasure, I found the following website. It also has a webpage on it that give detailed pics and measurements to fab up your own tailgate for it.

Thanks Mike, great find on the web page. Cost $500. Best part, no tax, buyer's premium, or EUC. Now to get a SF97 with the correct info. GSA loves to fill these out with nearly nothing written on them. Then DMV kicks you to the curb . . .

Restoration should be easy if the butchery wasn't too severe.

If anyone is looking for another converto trailer, let me know. I rounded one up with a MB purchase 2 years ago. Like the one shown here, mine is missing the tailgate and also the rear lights. I can take pictures, just send a PM.

Glad someone here got it. If you need pictures of the tailgate let me know.
