Built a cab dolly today.

I built a cab dolly for my cab today. I used the casters I did because it was all the local hardware store had. I need to get some bigger ones and change it to 4 I think. Otherwise it is pretty sturdy. I plan to use it on the next cab I rebuild rather than doing it on the frame. The floor of the cab is about 2 1/2 ft off the ground. I built it to use just the rear cab mounts so the front board won't be in my way for the next cab when I replace the floor support.

I would add a few diagonal pieces so it won't fold up on you... Harbor freight has some cheap casters... similar to mine but a little taller.

I plan to but I ran out of wood. I built this with wood I had saved from with I tore a wall out of my garage. I will buy some good casters the next time I go to Bismarck. (the closest "city" with real stores) I live in a town of 1000 people so our hardware store doesn't carry everything. I forgot to mention it is screwed together with some heavy screws.

I would hate to be leaning on it when 400lbs decides to shift... makes it easy to move around the garage though doesn't it?

Yes it is real easy to move it now. I am going to buy some wood tomorrow to put more braces in. As the cab sits now the dolly is plenty strong but if I hang doors and other stuff I think it might be a little weak.
