Here is an alternative C1 body dolly I built that others may want to consider for their body-off. It worked really well this past weekend when I pulled the body on my 1960.
I decided to do my own version because I wanted a dolly that was easy to build (2-3 hours), quite strong, would allow safe transport to the body shop and I could disassemble it easily (about 20 minutes) and store it under my house when I am not using it.
This dolly cost me about $125, excluding the casters. I was accidently sent 2 sets of casters when I got my 4-post lift so I used one of them for my dolly. These casters are total overkill but work well. It is real easy to push the body around.
The nose and tail supports are fully adjustable.
