MOPAR A/B/E BODY CAR MOVING BODY WHEELS SET

[Richard Cranium]

$578.00 is pretty steep for what this is. Does anyone else make anything more economically priced?

Car Moving Body Wheels

 

[5.7 hemi]

Make your own. Hit HF and get some caster wheels, then buy some square metal tubing, flat stock and weld up your very own set.

 

[Triplegreen500]

Make sure and check the weight rating on the casters! (DAMHIK)

I presume you're moving a bare frame/body, no suspension or wheels? If it has wheels...

$65 a pair at HF, and they work pretty good for what they are.

I made my own for far less money than that. Not to difficult if you have a welder.

 

[71RRHI]

a little cheaper but comes unpainted. The us car tool set is powder coated.

 

[Takoctopus]

Made this, has my 74 roadrunner without any suspension or drivetrain on it. Has doors, hood, trunk and fenders though.

Try Graingers, they have a crapload of that kind of stuff
build a set of your own, make it taller too
have a local steel fab or welding shop, cut/bend & weld a few pieces

bring in the leafspring backing plates
& some way to connect to the front of the chassis

You could use bigger pneumatic tires even
better to roll around, be way less then $250+ each set
or the $400-$500+ for set of 2 each
w/4" hard wheels

good luck

I've built at least a dozen sets of wheels for assorted projects.... Tried pneumatic tires once.... Unless your paying big $$$ they aren't designed for the weight involved... The tires deform, if you add enough air to support the load the sidewalls fail... Stick with the hard rubber/urethane wheels...

 

[CHARGERSTEVEN]

Go visit Pete,he may have a set.If not get him to fabricate a set for you.When making them make them adjustable to raise n lower the car n yes to the hard rubber/urethane.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I found these last evening and ordered up a set. The only issue I see is the K-frame mounting holes appear to be small, but that is easily rectified. I'll just hit up the local Harbor Freight & get a cheap set of 8" Chinese wheels.

If I was a retired elevator repairman, these are what I would buy.

That's not a bad price at all imo. Like mentioned above, get the solid hard wheels. Get at least 2 that swivel and with a brake. 4 that swivel are real nice for spinning the car around in a circle as well, but can get kind of squirrelly at times.

I do have a set of Go-Jacks also & they work great to move cars with wheels on them, but I’m removing the whole suspension.

Just messing with you, I wouldn’t mind getting a set of those that you just bought.

Yeah. I did the four swivel casters... Once.... You try stuff & see what works best... Then stick with it...
