For information, these are the tailgate release handles, correct? Are they "early" or "late"?

These are late model ones.

I am asking for informational purposes, so I hope that doesn't bother you.

Can these be modified to accommodate an "early" trailer, or are the handles completely different?

BTT

If you need a tailgate handle, PM me as I don't check the trailer board that frequently. Thanks

The question was asked if these can be used on an early converto trailer but has not been answered. I would like to reserve one. Can anybody confirm it will fit.

Thanks

Yes they will fit but not the same as the earlier and simpler handles. These are cast and the others were just plain steel.

PM sent to reserve a handle.

Mine is an early trailer but seems to have the same handle you are making.

Can somebody post a good picture of an early handle for reference. I only found one picture and couldn't see any details.

BTT - Christmas is coming. Buy one for a fellow collector or spoil yourself early. Either way, I have them so come and get 'em.
