I have a '50 shoebox up on 4 OTC Stinger Easy Roller units, PN 1580, rated at 1500 lb. each. They roll easily, on smooth cement floor, by just leaning against the car. I purchased them from Tool-Topia several years ago. Unfortunately even though a former good old American company, OTC, has sourced them from China. Is nothing sacred.?

Cleaning the garage today, I realized that a set of dollies would help a lot. My '31 pickup and '27 roadster needed to move. Went to H F for a set of the 1000 lb. capacity dollies. 50 bucks for a pair. Instead, I came home with the 18 inch-1000 lb. capacity furniture dollies. 8 dollars each. 8 bucks. They worked great and if I ever break one I can always take it back for a replacement.

Those are the ones I bought from Harbor Freight.
Costly, but work great!
