vintage trailer questions

I have just got my hands on a flatbed single axle 20-25 ft long Fruehauf trailer. The front is rounded and the brakes are vacuum. They look like air brakes as there is a pod for each wheel but under the trailer there is a large vacuum storage can. Can anyone here narrow down a year of manufacture for this thing.

Is the ID tag still on the trailer? Or on the parts themselves?

Fruehauf is still in business, so you might contact them.

Another source of info is the C. W. Carter Co. in Los Angeles, one of the nations largest sellers of truck and trailer parts.

I havn't got it home yet as I am waiting for the place were it is to dry up enough to get it but it looks in good shape so if there is an ID tag I should be able to find it.
