ever use them? they make it easier by yourself - but still not truly easy..

Yep, I've used them. They work fine inside a shop with a good flat floor. Not terribly hard to push a car around with them and it's not like you are moving it far inside the shop.

I have a set of those, fine on a smooth surface. Not so much if you have to run over a bump. Switched my wheels to pneumatic. Cost as much as I paid for the units but easier to roll.

I agree, pneumatic wheels are much better. Especially if you need to move it over asphalt or bumps.

I had a set before and if catch the wheels at a bad angle, it's almost impossible to push.

I still had to have another person help me.
Only my cousin could move a car alone with those but he is a huge dude who was in n wrestling.

I don't even stand a chance to move a car by myself like that

what ones did you switch to? I have that exact issue with mine

Bought mine at home depot. They were about 8 bucks each if I remember correct. No pics now they are with the cuda. I stuck one under the trans. So I could roll the engine and frame out from under the body. Worked easy.

I have found they don't change direction well - I have to alternate pushing the front then the back to get the car over to where I want it. Last year I decided I wanted the car turned 180 degrees in the garage - THAT was fun!

they must sit up quite a bit higher than they originally did...?

They work. It just takes two people. Dolly carts still are easier with two people also.

No. tires still on the front. Slide one under the trans. Think dolly. Raised car and pulled.

I have an alterkation coil over on mine not a k frame. Perhaps that where I'm losing you.

Well, the magnets are in the mail! I had to make sure to check that the envelopes wouldn't stick to the metal mailbox before dropping them in. I could just imagine them sticking to the sides and never getting to the bottom of the box for collection...

Do you have any chick magnets????

 

[ScampMike]

I find it best to push on the wheels/tires or the bumpers to at least to get it headed in the right direction - then I can use the very front or very rear of the car to get it where I want it

 

[krazykuda]

one huge disadvantage of being my size ....is I don't have enough strength to push cars around and move heavy stuff where I want it. So I have to get creative and figure out ways to let a machine do the work

I am going to attempt to build a set up like this to move body shells in the shop

View attachment 1715034446

I am thinking harbor freight has the casters ....then I need, maybe a 4 feet of square tube

I already have the plate metal

I would like to do 100. bucks out of pocket and maybe 6 hours of work

A member that I met in Janesville, WI had a nice jig that he made with casters to move body shells around without suspensions on them... I can't remember his screen name it had 383 in it, he was a big block Dart guy...

Pic of the set up. I paid three k when I bought mine. It's five now.

You have to watch those style of wheels, we have bent many of them with just a-bodies and an e-body... Some are cheaply made and bend under stress...

If you are going to go that way, get a good heavy duty set....

I think you might have left it here in the coffee shop...LOL!

Yeah, you can see how hard he is working. I was more impressed how well the wheels and swivels worked on asphalt.
