8' - 2"x2" tubing with 3/16" wall
2' - 2 1/2" X 2 1/2" tubing with 3/16" wall
2' - 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" tubing with 1/8" wall
6" - 2 1/2" X 2 1/2" tubing with 1/4" wall
12 - 3/8" X 1" grade 8 bolts
8 - 3/8" nuts
2 - 1/4" X 3/4" bolts
2 - 1/4" nuts
2 - 1/2" X 3 1/2" bolts
4 - 1/2" nuts
2 - 3" HD swivel casters
1 - 3" HD fixed caster
Some 3/16"" plate steel for caster pads, jack pad and two 1 1/2" square pieces for the top of the uprights to hold the 1/2" pins. (Can just weld the casters on)
Cut a piece of 2"X 2" tubing 29 1/2" in lenght and the second one 60" this will make the tee. Next cut four 4 1/2" lengths of the 2 1/2" tubing with 3/16" wall this will be for the adjustable sliders. Cut two 7" lengths of the 1 1/2" tubing this will be for the uprights that hold the pins. Cut one 1 1/2" tubing 5 1/2" in lenght this will be for the rear engine support. Cut two pieces of 1 1/2"X11/2" X 3/16" plate and one 4" X 6" X 3/16" plate.
Now the four pieces of 2 1/2" tubing 4 1/2" long will need
two holes drilled in each one 1" inch from each end and on center. This will be where the 3/8" nuts will be welded for the 3/8" set bolts this will also need to be done on the 5 1/2" piece of the 1 1/2" square tubing for the 1/4" set bolts.Drill a 5/8" hole in the center of the 1 1/2"X1 1/2"X 3/16" then weld the two 1/2" nuts on centered over the hole. This will be for the 1/2" pins, then weld them on one end of the two 7" pieces
of the 1 1/2" tubing with the welded nut inside tubing. Once the ends are welded on then weld the 7" pieces to two of the 2 1/2" tubing that's 4 1/2" long place them 3/4"
from the end (refer to the pics) also the set bolts will be at the bottom. The other two pieces of 2 1/2" tubing 4 1/2"
long wil be for the trans jack and rear engine support.
Weld the 4"x6" 3/16" plate to one of them with the set bolts to the bottom also this plate will need to be offset 2 3/8" to the right from center of plate the 6" lenght this is due to the offset of the engine in relation to the k frame and frame rails. the 1 1/2" tubing 5 1/2" welds to last piece of 2 1/2" tubing for the rear engine support. I have not finished this part yet just waiting to get the engine and tranny on to see what's needed. If you want to be able to disassemble it for storage cut the tee on the long piece 4"
back from the short side of the tee and use the 2 1/2 tubing that's 6" long to couple it together. Drill and tap
two 3/8" holes on each end of the coupling to secure the tee together. Then install casters however you choose.
Then stencil "poor boy" on it and if you decide to build and sell them give me some royalty money.
