That would be amazing!

Here’s some pictures with measurements for the lifting attachment. The two pieces of 2 1/2” square tubing once drilled will need a 1/2” nut welded to them for securing the 1/2” bolt that holds the cross bar in place.
The rest of the tubing is 2” square thin wall also the 2 mounting holes for each side will need reinforcing tubing welded in place.

Thank you for the plans Beekeeper!! I just have to finish the piece on the front to steady the kframe.

I think Beekeeper needs to patent this thing and go into competition with US Car Tools.

I'm finally putting my K-Frame dolly together. The only modification I'm "trying" is U-Bolts for the casters - still using the metal plate. I'm going for an "easy to store" design as I can remove the posts and everything stores flat or against a wall. I also made the extension at the top of the "T" to support the front of the K-Frame. Since the wheels came in a 4-pack, I put a 4th wheel under it for support.

Is there a standard "slope" between the front and rear of the K-Frame? Based on the chassis diagram, it appears it slopes approx 1" from the front mounting holes to the back mounting holes.

Some steel tube scrap, mig welder, and HD casters:

With test stand "insert" for engine break-in:

Install (with assistance from Kubota forklift attachment), rolled the dolly in, then with 2 post lift (69 Charger RT):

My take on a stand. Added front and rear supports to hold a bare K frame, and support the engine with no transmission. (The box tube at the back is a short center spine to swap in for storage, makes the stand 2’ deep to take up less space)
