    I'm watching this video about a truck recovery in east Texas for purposes of restoration and was wondering what product this trailer once hauled.

    The owner said his dad hauled produce, but it doesn't look like a trailer suitable for that.

    As an aside, I was hoping they were going to snatch that 1966 Plymouth Fury, but they didn't.

    That trailer could have been used to haul onions or potatoes.

    As a flatbed or dry van?

    It looks like a circa 1951-1962 Fruehauf-Carter bull nose flatbed with no decking (rotted away). They were used in the ag industry.
