Auto body rotisserie

I'm gonna build one of these to do my crew cab's cab, bed and frame on. I'm gonna use 4.80 x 8" trailer wheels and tires and a tongue on the front that will steer the front wheels so I can move it around outside on the gravel with my 4 wheeler. I gonna try to start on it this week I hope.

I know a couple guys who have built them Bill, shouldn't be too bad. Will definitely make some of the work on the truck much easier.

Correction.......I'm not using 4.80 x 8" trailer wheels and tires,they are 5.70 x 8" tires. I figured by using the larger rubber tires rather than casters, would make it a lot easier to move around on the gravel outside my shop.

The engine stands are a good idea, but where I work I have access to about any steel I need, and if we don"t have it in the shop, I can order it. I had actually thought about the engine stands, but I'm gonna build it with a steering axle in the front.

I wanna get started on it this week......I hope! I'll take pics when I do.
