Cab Dollie

Hey Guys,
I want to build a cab dollie so i can move my cab around alittle easier when i need to, my question is does anyone have any pics and measurements i can see and use to fab up my own? i could get my own measurements from my cab if i could just get to it, i have it stored in another garage i rent along with the rest of my truck parts and other misc stuff so getting to the cab is a bit of a problem at this time.

P.S
Sorry for the long explaination didn't want you guys to think
i was to lazy to get my own measurements.

Thanks, fever

Put 4 casters on a wooden pallet. You got a cab dolly. No measurements needed. Lay it on any side and move it around.

I did 4x6 under a pallet to have more room to work on the floor.

You can see one picture in my gallery

Sorry, I don't have measurements.
The dollie got recycled when I put my cab back on the frame, the wheels are now under my welding cart
