Default New Body Dolly in Action !!!

Well, here is my first update post in a while. Sorry, but I don't have too many
pictures to show or results to report. Except for the new body dolly that I built.
The dolly is constructed of 2x6, 4x4, 1/2" threaded rod, quality hardware,
and 10" pneumatic castors. I would do a few things differently, if I were to
build one again. So, I will post at a later time my recommended plans.



The front and back is currently unsupported, but I have a nylon racheting
tie-down from the nose to the Ttop bar. This is tightened enough to take the
weight off of the nose.

Now, the chassis is in the driveway - ready for a quick rebuild.

Here is an animated GIF of the chassis out / dolly in.



Looks like another rainy weekend. I'll be outside powerwashing the chassis.
I bought one of these, and it works Great !!
