I'm certainly not opposed to the 50s, I think they're actually quite beautiful, I just am not as familiar with them as I am with the 60s models. Also, it seems like the 50s Overlanders didn't all have tandem axles, does that sound right?

Thanks to all for your help, it is very much appreciated!

Most of early-mid 50's trailers don't have black tanks at all...ours didn't. They either used full-hook-ups or "gopher holes". We've added both a black & two gray tanks during our restoration...big job, but worth it. I believe the tandem axles were an option...so most don't have them but some do.

P.S. You may want to check these out to see what the 50's O'landers are like. '57s were kinda a transition year...some have two axles, mre have one. Also, some have 13 panels and some 7 panels, just depends on whether they were built in OH or CA and options.
