Here is Acme's FLD as just arrived in our yard with a set of Watkins pups that are to be repaired. 1999 New Cumberland, PA. John L. Becker Collection.

This Watkins converter dolly was in our shop to have the fifth wheel repaired. 1999 ! Acme Trailer Works, New Cumberland, PA. John L. Becker Collection. These 2 pics are the before and after shots of a watkins Silver Eagle-built dolly that we repaired by installing a new frame. 55030a is the before shot and 55030b is the after shot. 1999 at Acme Trailer Works, New Cumberland, PA. John L. Becker Collection.

In 1998, Wabash National built a series of pups for Watkins. Here is one of the new builds sitting in one of Wabash's yards. August 1998 at Lafayette, IN. John L. Becker Collection. These 2 photos show the front and rear of one of Watkins' "trap" trailers that Acme readied for Watkins. The heritage of these trailers go back to Wal Mart. Wal Mart bought these trailers new, then they sold them off and Preston bought a bunch. When Preston went out of business, Watkins bought them and had its vendors ready them for "trap" service. What we did to ready them was repaint them, install new interior plywood, and decal them. I decalled every unit we readied for them. 1999 at Acme Trailer Works, New Cumberland, PA. John L. Becker Collection.

This "trap" trailer was built by Lufkin. 1999 at Acme Trailer Works, New Cumberland, PA. John L. Becker Collection. This particular "trap" trailer was built by Wabash and photographed shortly before leaving our yard. 1999 at Acme Trailer Works, New Cumberland, PA. John L. Becker Collection.

Acme Trailer Works, New Cumberland, PA May 2003. John L. Becker Collection. This "trap trailer" is domiciled in baltimore, MD and built new for watkins in August 2002. Acme replace the node rail and sectioned the Keml;ite roof on this unit. Acme Trailer Works, New Cumberland, PA, May 2003. John L. Becker Collection.
