    no drawing of it, but a customer brought in his 32 PB on a dolly he made. it is super simple and works great for a light body. All he did was too an old trailer axle cut the spindles off and mounted his own, tires are space saver spares, then took two pieces 3x3 quarter inch angle iron about 10 feet, welded them just inside the spindles to the axle and made a triangle. where the two pieces of angle came together he attached the them with a short length of square tubing and put a trailer hitch on it. you could then move it around with a trailer dolly that you can get from Harbor freight or attach it to a garden tractor to move it around. at the front near the hitch there was a cross bar where the cowl would sits on.
    it sounds Hokey I know but the thing worked great.
    hope that helps.

  5. Oh now the question :
    tow Dolly or body Dolly/ cart?

    Two casters and two stationary is a hell of a clue, however it dont say that and I thought tow Dolly first until I read it again

    Kustom Kids dolly is a nice design. You could improve a bit if you cover one side of the double 2x4 sides with 3/4" plywood you create a channel which will not sag under the weight of the body.
