Car frame caster

[mauls]

I know these cars are uni bodies but i was curious if anyone had some Idea's for me to weld up a caster to move my car around without the K member on it.

I was thinking of using some square tubing and bolt it right to the original bumper bracket holes, and then weld another square tube attached to a caster to that.

Thoughts?  Idea's?

Thanks!

US Car Tool sells a kit you can copy. I make complete carts to move the car around.

Perfect, these should be pretty easy to make.

I just used some steel i had laying around and bolted it to the k-frame holes using two of the bolts and welded the wheel to the bottom, works great

That looks pretty easy also, and you are just running 1 wheel in the center correct?

Yes one wheel, It works great and i have the rear tires on some regular 4 wheel rollers you can get fairly cheap. you could use square tubing or even some heavy angle iron

Here are mine, they work pretty decently. I should have gone with a heavier duty caster on the rear or move the casters in the rear further back for better weight distribution

I chose to bolt it to the K-frame holes. if you don`t have a nice flat floor, those would put a lot of stress on the rails imo.

I tied the casters together, if the rails can't handle pushing around the floor, we've got a major problem. However, without an engine and interior, I can pickup the front of the car, there isn't a lot of weight on it.

I used 8" casters, the bigger they are the easier to maneuver.
Bolted the casters to flat 1/4" plate and welded that to 2' square tubing.
Attached to bumber attachment holes up front and front of the rear spring hanger holes in back.
Works like a charm, be sure and get brakes on at least 2 0f the casters.

Here's what I did, works great






Better photos at home but anyway, 1 inch square tubing to 6" castors
