I have the front of the car on wheel dollies, the rear of the car is on jack stands. Do i put the rear wheels on the ground, and use jack stands on the torque boxes? Of, course I will have to take off the wheel dollies up front.
Your dollies look like the ones my BP came with. The salesman from Best Buy assured me that I could use those on the lift while moving a car around like Back Yard Buddy showed on their website with a Camaro on the lift. NOT! This is what I ended up making after I folded the supplied BP units...
Look back at what I posted. The one I made had 4 two inch long locating pins going into the unitized frame holes. No way it will slip off. We trailered it and unloaded it with the dolly.
...left overs and tack welded it together... Now it's long enough it just looks terrible. Spent a good while on the floor with some hammer and dollies and hammered the body line in the new section and did my best to make it look decent.
Hung the quarter again and marked out my cut lines. Made...
...you'll never get at an amusement park!
As stated above, tire pressure is a biggie, especially on an unsprung axle; like on some generators, welders, tow dollies without a car on it, and cheapo home-built jobs. Too much, and your trailer will bounce like a toddler on a sugar high. Guaranteed.
I'm looking to buy a car hauler trailer. I have a habit of finding derelict or classic cars and have rented dollies and trailers for far too long.
There are a LOT of options so I am trying to make sense of all of it.
I will be towing with my 2007 Ram 1500 regular cab 2wd truck. Maybe on rare...
Years ago a friend had a similar situation with a '58 hardtop we needed to get out of a farmer's woods. At that time Uhaul rented wheeled dollies where you would place the front wheels of a car up on the dolly and tow the car. We dug out an area in the front enough to get a hydraulic jack in...
Any trees less than 4 inches will go if need be. I was actually wondering about using a dolly in the front and in the rear, with ratchet straps holding them for synchrony.
...2006. The part number on the invoice is RC426
Glad I grabbed it, it’s been awesome to work with. I’m even contemplating firing up the engine while it’s on the dolly.
FYI this engine/trans dolly will be for sale when I'm done, along with the front and rear sub frame/dollies built for B bodies..
...jack, delivery and setup was better than the BB. After it was put together I loaded my 65 onto it. Went to rotate it around on the supplied dollies and promptly folded two of them over. They are made of 1/4" x 1 1/2" strap. Dummy me, I didn't just get on the horn and go WTF. I just maneuvered...
Welcome to the dark side.
66/67 B body cars are actually pretty light.
I have a 67 4 door parts car on HF dollies and I can almost twirl it around in the shop.
I bought a used 16 foot Master Tow, only paid $2000 for it. Have had it now 13 years. Absolutely no problems, Have pulled it at 75MPH w/66 on back. Remember 10% of weight should be on tongue, And get a weight distribution hitch!!! Aluminum trailers are great but big money. Probably x2 of...
...that holds it at about the right height of where the engine would be when the wheels and tires are on. I have my car on car moving dollies, so I increased the height of the fixture about 2 inches to compensate for that. The front of the cart actually holds the K frame by the rear bolt...
...I should post these photos here or in the shop, garage tools forum. Maybe I'll do both.
I had the material and decided to make one of these dollies instead of paying $200. I modified the "cradles" and used 2 1/2 inch flat bar for the top of the adjustable upright and cradle arms. I cut the...
