Sorry, no exact specs or shop drawings but I will describe it as best I can remember. The previous 2 pics I posted were without the body mount set up. Here are a couple more pics with the body actually bolted to the dolly: http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l206/sheenster_2006/68%20FB/?action=view¤t=BodyDollySide.jpg http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l206/sheenster_2006/68%20FB/?action=view¤t=BodyDollyFront.jpg The side rails are 2x4 x 8'. I would recommend doubling these up since mine started to sag a bit in the middle after a few months. Also, that is why I added the center wheel/post support later. I took them off for the trip back and forth to the sandblasting shop to make it easier to roll on and off the flat bed. The front and back are 2x4's as well. I recall I used 8-footers and just cut them in half. So these should be 4'. The wheel-posts are 4x4's. Cut to whatever length you want. I think mine were about 16". I notched them so the 2x4's would rest in the notch of the 4x4's. You definitely want to have the triangular post supports. I just used some scrap 1/2 or 3/4" plywood for these and cut them to fit. Lastly, you use 4x4's between the body dolly and the body. These are about 5'. I think I had the rear one bolted down through the front leaf-spring mount holes. My passenger side already had a hole drilled out for access. The front is a 4x4 with two 2x4's to fit up nicely in the front body mounts (see pic). This keeps the 4x4 from touching/bending the rocker panel to body pan seam that hangs down about 1 1/2". Let me know if you need any more detail. Good luck!
