Tip & Flip dollys for 55-59 comming soon.

[Rokcrln]

A friend of mine just picked up a 55 truck project that he will be parting and selling off but first I get the cab for mock up. I should have the plans ready for shipping in about a month. I will up date the post as things get closer. The 67-72 Tip & Flip can be seen in the link in my sig below. At this time I am not selling anthing for this just getting the info out their.

Thanks,

Well it went alot quicker than I expected! Once I modified the 67-72 plans for changes needed for the 55-59 it was just a matter of following my own plans. I still need adjust the plans for all the changes but this gives you an idea of what it is and how nice it will make doing a restoration on your project! When was the last time it was this easy to get to all your cab corner work! Or just to clean and repaint the under side of your cab before it goes back on the frame! Keep in mind the three under floor pic's were atcken standing up not laying on the cold garage floor with all that dirt falling into your face

Can't wait. This is going to make life so much easier being able to roll the cab in and out of the garage and rotate it to work on it.
Its going to make my home owners association happy that my cab won't be parked in the driveway full time anymore.

Hey Kevin, I am looking forward to this too. Can you give me an rough estimate on the total build cost (materials)?

It can be built for about $100 plus what ever you want to use for wheels. The main dolly with out legs(not shown in the pic lift the cab another 14" for working on rocker) or tip arms can be done for about $70.

Around $170 for it?, not bad at all. Big time & labor saver.

No, $100 total plus wheels. $70 if you only build the cart and not the legs or tip arms (about $30 more for metal) at the same time. I would buget about $150 for a total dolly ready to roll, Tip & Flip. Sorry it is not ready yet as my Documentation person (wife) has been stuck in NY for the last two weeks for work. But she is taking next week off to complete things around the house and get the 55-59 dolly and the cab lifter writen up and ready for print.
