I have just purchased a 1957 Dalton trailer. It is in need of a paint job soon and I would like to put it back to the original paint design. Does anyone know if there are any drawings or measurements or schematics for that paint job or will I have to eyeball it by looking at photos from other trailers of that era? I can't figure out how to add a photo. Thanks!

Do a search for "1957 Dalton Trailer". Quite a few came up for me.

1957 Daltons had a pretty cool Brand Graphic painted on the sides. 1967 Daltons just have a single paint band around the middle. It depends on what you have, if you want to match an original style.

Oops. I corrected the date mistake. It's a 1957 Dalton. Yes I have googled the trailer and have collected several photos of the original paint design. I'm not sure what I was thinking. That there may be a printable pattern or measurements out there. I guess that was a silly thought. I can do this! Thanks everyone!
