I would ship to Canada using only USPS.

If the total is less that 20#, I believe I can get them in a large flat rate box which would add $25ish to the total, figure in the 315-320 range. If they can't go flat rate box???? No idea what it would run to get them there. Probably in the $70 range.

If you can get casters locally, I know for sure the weight would be below 20#
 
do you have the front and rear A-body ready to ship ? need a price for all 4 w/the 650lbs wheel to area code 12053 N.Y thank's
 
hey crackedback, i saw this solution of yours and was wondering if u would consider making a set (front/back) for a b unit body? ive got a 67 charger and these seem totally awesome, besides what fabo's have said about the quality of them.

i wont need the casters if those are standard at HF. watcha u think?
 
I can build them.... my dad has this ultimate set of tools... sorry, spicolli flashback. :)

I would need the center to center spread on your bumper bracket bolts.

If you want the car level, get the rocker level and get me these measurements.

1) From center of front bumper bracket bolt to ground and

2) from rear spring mount lower bolt hole to ground.

3) yoke to ground.

I can build it off those measurements. If you want it a bit taller let me know how much.

I'd need to know the bolt pattern for the casters you plan on using. The ones I normally build are 4.5' x 4" plates.

RATS! we had a good stretch of mild weather where i coulda got the measurements, but now its snowy and cold. i will have to empty the car out to get it level. i have everything inside that i took off. next good spell we have i will get the info to you.

thanx too much
 
Just got a pair of front and back dollies for my Duster. I'm not ready to attach them yet but I am very impressed with the quality of construction. It's great to support a FABO member and it's made in the USA!!!
 
Hi Crackedback;
How much would it cost to ship a pair of front and back dollies, without casters, to
T4R 2T8 (Red Deer, Alberta, Canada)?
thanks

They fit in a large flat rate box. At most it would be $54 via usps.

If you know a better or less expensive way to ship them, I can look into it.
 
Oh friggin crap! I just made a setup today similar to this. I would of much rather of just bought them instead of wasting a full day fabbing them up!

Good looking pieces!

Thanks

If you want them for the rear, I make those...
 
Made my own. Yours are better! Just bought some inflatable 8" wheels from harbor frieght.

They suck! Use the solid ones like he does. Moves a lot easier.

lol I almost bought the 8" pneumatic casters today then decided on the solids because I figured the solids would handle the weight better.
 
I can make these and bring to spring Fling with prepayment.

I'd need a couple days lead time as casters would have to be ordered if you wanted them.
 
Got more casters. Materials and casters have both gone up a little in cost, going to keep the selling prices the same.

The rears are being made using 3/16" steel plate. Fronts are 3/16 caster plates and 1/8" uprights/mount bracket where the bumper bolts attach. Towed a car on a trailer almost 300 miles, not an issue.

Shipping on a complete set is about $30 anywhere in the continental US.
 
How much for the front and rears without casters? I know this questions has been ask
 
200+ shipping

Those can fit in a flat rate box, with insurance, shipping is about $20 in US

I have a set ready to go right now.

Yes, you can tow a car on a trailer with these. Got to use common sense. I wouldn't go cross country with them with a loaded down chassis, but a local haul using them is usually fine. i towed the car on my trailer with these pictured.

It's best to use these with a bare or close to bare shell. I do have the full interior still in my car, no engine/trans, and a trunk full of stuff.

Just a word of caution when hauling a car body using casters. When rolling a car body into the trailer the castors will gouge the hell out of the floor of your trailer. You'll need aluminum plating to spread the load.

I could see skinny metal casters doing that to a plywood deck.
