question about picking up a car
 

how would one load a car without a rear onto a trailer? its a nice car so i don't want to damage anything...


thanks guys!

What kind of trailer?

just a regular car trailer like a uhaul open one

and i have a winch to attach to the trailer and to a mounting point on the car, its a chevy nova no motor trans or rear but the body is in good shape so i dont want to mess it up

BOOYAH.


You can make a dolly out of wood and casters.

:mrgreen::mrgreen:

not a bad idea!! im going to do a massive internet search id just need wheels large enough to make it up the ramps, it has the whole front end and the wheels and tires on it just no rear

Make dollies and pay someone to flatbed it.

If it has no motor trans or rear you might be able to get away with tractor or large wheelbarrow tires. You can use large bolts as axles.

ive got a buddy that will do it for gas money only thing im worried about isthe angle of the flat bed to the car, i would need to make the dollies pretty tall so the bumper doesnt scrap.


truee i could put two roller skates underneath lol. do you think the tires will stay under the car as the tow truck or winch pulls it?

actually they wouldn't have to be too tall because the leaf springs are still in the car and i could just ratchet the dollies to each leaf spring

hows your fabrication skills? you can make yourself a "frame" and have the front wheels on dollys and tow it with a wheel lift backwards.

ehh not that great:bertstare: im planning to get the car from NY about an hour an 35 away

Might be worth just getting a cheap rear. Or borrowing one. U bolt it in with wheels. It's not like you are driving it. Any rear would probably do, too. Wouldn't matter if the wheels are sticking out 2" per side.

that is true, and would take me 20 min to do

Yeah, why not just throw a spare rear-end in there. If I still had my old blown 10bolt I'd let u take it :lol:
If you can get your hands on a rear end but need wheels, let me know.

Talk to Beggz. He just blew his and lives right by us.

if you need it flatbeded my cousin has a flat bed tow truck his prices are cheap

thanks mike, ill shoot him a pm if anything ill just take my blazer wheels off lol but im almost positive it comes with wheels and tires, ill let you know

chris, ive got a flatbed but if my buddy cant do it ill give your cousin a call i appreciate it
