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.

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.

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.

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
If you can get your hands on a rear end but need wheels, let me know.
