Anyone have a "body dolly"?

I'm looking to pick up a blazer body but need some measurements to make a dolly so I can move it onto a trailer.
thanks

L 10'10" only about 9'6" across the bottom.....W 79" and I think 54" High. I built my cart 4' x 8' out of 2x6's with 4 300lb casters from Lowes it rolls around nice, the tubs not bolted to the cart.

Cool, thanks. I guess i'm going to have to use pneumatic tires to roll on the top of a car trailer.
So that measurement is under the rear section and front cab?

Re: Anyone have a "body dolly"?

Wouldn't it be better to just set the tub directly on the trailer for transporting, and then moving it to the dolly once home? My concern is all the movement on the dolly...

That is how i trailered mine. i just set the torsion boxes on the trailer and blocked up under the bed area with cribbing until it sat mostly level the strapped it down and away i went. no issues at all.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
