I believe that dart440_72 is referring to a cart to roll the powertrain under and then out from under the car.......Great idea!

Single wheel in the back under the 2"x2" frame so it doesn't get in the way. I'll don't have a real good picture of it but you can see them in the last picture.

Here's a couple more I found...it probably would have been easier to just go assemble it and take better photo's...if needed I will before I return it to Mark or Denny or who ever get's it next.

This is probably the best picture of a viable example - Thanks Ross.
We had considered introducing a similar "For Sale" version as the HDKart
with the same adjustability that would accomodate any K-Member but Denny
was dubious as to whether people would be willing to pay the freight on such
a device and figures that a lot of guys would just want to build their own.
Of course, these would work for anybody; not just HDK customers. Do you
think there would be enough of a demand for a quality ready-to-go piece?
We're listening.

sizable demand, no. A gaggle of them, yes

We didn't really think so as far as a retail item but it is a necessary piece that anybody doing engine/trans
installs from underneath should make.......or have made for them. Ross's design would be hard to beat.
If you make your own, you could affectionately refer to it as the HDKart by Ross

Getting real close to taking the 69 Valiant for a test run I thinking of doing a write up on all the trials and tribulations of using the HDK for street use while still wanting the OLD School look and stance for anyone wanting the same I still have to figure out my rear leaf springs to get the stance and performance I want

How about a couple of pictures Rod....now that it's on the wheels.
I would prefer to make the pieces....everything EXCEPT the box tubing and large dollie wheels (Harbor Freight) that could be purchased locally and is expensive to ship because of size and weight.
make it slip fit and adjustable.
whaddaya think?

Wow the HDK system is designed to have a real low ride height which I fully understand the concept but in my case I wanted a more muscle car look (ride height) I have switched the 2" drop spindles for stock height and have the QA1 DS401 shocks (11 1/2 - 12 1/2) and the car now sets at 13" C to C on the shock and is still a little low for my taste considering changing to the DS403 (12 1/2 - 13 1/4) since I'm already past the DS401 ride height suggestion by QA1
Any thought of using the DS 501 ?
The longest (lowest) hole in the ride height simulators.
Extended....17"
Compressed...11-5/8"
Installed.....13-7/8"...or 13-1/4" to 14-1/2"

Thanks Hemi Mark!!!
That's exactly what I was looking for! Ever thought of adding another sliding cross brace so you can separate the trans from the engine?
I appreciate the pic!

remember I'm old and forget allot but I'll have to look I don't recall the 501 being on the list you sent me the 403 being the longest but I could be wrong now I'm probably going to change to the 501

I know you have the monster motor but what spring weight did you end up with I now have the 400 on a 10" which is to much probably more like 300 to 350 do you know your front weight a friend is bringing over his 4 corner scales to weigh my car

and are you using the 2" drop spindles

Ok found out that I'm old and forget allot proof being that I was mistaken about the 501 Qa1 suggest using the 325 spring with the 501 shock and I was guessing around 1600 # front weight looking like I'll be switching over to the 501 due to the 13 1/4 ride height being the lowest I would care to go and I can go up to help with leveling out the car as long as it looks ok
