Is this a Converto?

Is this a Converto trailer? There aren't any tags except a Pennsylvania ID tag.

It's for sale so make a reasonable offer. The hydraulic dump works perfectly. Tires are shot, rims are not matched, tail gate works. Measures 54" wide x 72" long. Bed has some big rust holes. I have a title for it. Located in Wall, NJ.

If no offers, then I will part it out and keep the dump mechanism.

Civil Version, Military didn't have hydraulics or springs and also had a different gate and rear skids.

I wish I could post on the G. For some reason, I can never log on and forget about getting any help from the admin's. It took forever for them to reset passwords for me to get it to work and it still didn't work.

Mike,
You come up with some of the most "oddball" stuff I have ever seen.
This doesn't look like any Converto that I have ever seen .. not that I am an expert or something ... I just signed up for access on G503 ..
If you'd like, as soon as it is activated I will copy your post over there and get back here with the answer.

Hey Mike
What does the data tag on the framerail say?

The tag just has a Pennsylvania ID number for registration. No manufacturer label or anything like that. It's titled as a home made but this was professionally built.

I had a WWII Jeep friend come and look at it and he said the bed is definitely a Converto bed and it could have been a civilian version, post war, upgraded model with the hydraulics.

Mike,

One of the group on G503 had this to say:

"I believe Converto made a kit that could be installed on a pickup truck very similar to this one.
I saw one on a 1950 Dodge civilian pickup, but don't know when it was installed.
The similarities in the bed design would lead me to think that Converto probably built at least the dump-bed and mechanism. I have no clue about the trailer it is mounted on."
