Any idea of year of manufacture, or contract would be a big help.

Does it have a winch? Was it always a tipper?

A quick look at 'the book' suggests the following possible ranges:- 428589 (a single cckwx 353 dump 1941), 4139626 - 4140925 (353 dump 1942), 4484953 - 4500783 (352 dump with winch 1942), 47327303 - 4736910 (353 dump with winch 1944).

The book only goes up to 1944 so any later production is not listed.

Regards

Ken

Hi Ken,

Sorry I do not know either the year of manufacture or contract. However, it does have a winch and has always been a tipper. Thanks for taking the time to dig out that information, it was much appreciated

Regards

Jack

I wouldn't think you will find many 42 models converted to air portable versions.

 

The design went into production in early 44, so you would have registration numbers in the 260000+ range at the earliest... more likely 300,000-400,000.

 

There are a few pics of air portables on the internet (original signal corps dated) so look at those and pick one a few 1000 off.
