Re: dollys to roll your truck around in the garage???

I recently got the HF ones and they look crappy. But I am happy with them so far.
Really have not used them much. Bought them for a very light Volvo and ended up putting them under my Cutlass.
Time will tell. I don't have high hopes but they worked great 1st try.

I got these from LMC:

I have no complaints. The wheels are big enough that they roll easily on my broom swept concrete floor. Right now that are under my '66 1 ton dually and I can roll it around the shop myself. The hardest part is changing directions, but once you get all of the wheels on the dollies pointed in the same direction you are good to go.

Plus the flat bottom allows you to put jack stands on them also.

Re: dollys to roll your truck around in the garage???

The best car dollies I've used by far are the NMW Products Rollmaster. The company is now defunct, but if you can find a used set, I would jump on them. I have two sets (8 total) that I use to roll my various projects around my shop. They were a very stable platform for both tires and jack stands. I've owned a couple of other types and have thrown all of them away after one failure or another.

Here is one of my sets used with jack stands when I rolled my frame out after paint.
