Wheel Dolly? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

stllookn · 12-10-2002, 01:13 AM

Last weekend or the week before on Hot Rod TV, Dream Car Garage or one of those shows they demostrated a wheel dolly that included a hydraulic jack that jacked the two sides together under the tire thereby elminating the need to use a separate jack to lift the tire off the ground. Did anyone catch the name of the company that builds these. I need to purchase some for another project. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I looked them up on the Snap-On site and it looks close enough.

I picked up a set from Harbor freight, they were 39 a set. They're not the best quality but they were a lot cheaper than the snap-on ones.
