52 willys PU PS... its OG from a late 70's/early 80's Caddy, gettin stuffed behind a "Four-Double-Nickle" Byooick from a 72 electra 225
I'll never forget when my old man backed over his creeper with the '57,,,,no problem, cut the dammaged 1/3 off, reinstall the wheels................... instant Super-High Manuverability creeper I bet he still has it. Yankee ingenuity/thriftyness at its finest. Brett
that oughta be fun as shit...good luck keeping tires on that bitch. i'm putting a 455 olds in my daily with a t56 behind it. if i have a 3.08 rear, 27" tires and have a .70 final drive and hit 6000rpm in 6th...viola, 220 mph in a granny car
Still got em and still love em BUT I dig the hell out of my lift after creeping,doing the yard/gravel driveway crawl for nearly 40 years. It's nice to not lay down unless I want to! Rod
Yeah, they work great for sliding a tranny under. You can then use a a cherry picker to lift the tranny into position throught the floor shift hole. Makes it easy on us guys who can't do the the old bench press technique.
there's the chevy bolt pattern which has a bolt top center and the BOP (Buick, Olds, Pontiac and cadillac but that's not part of the acronym) pattern with that valley in the middle you see there.
I've been putting trannys on worn out creepers for years...nice tip! that tranny is a caddy, most likely, with that extra long tail, and the caddy blue dipstick tube
Reminds me of how every skater I've ever known has used a skateboard to move something. I think my biggest thing was a heavy ass solid wood entertainment center.
Hell I'm not even a skate boarder and I used one to move a stove a few weeks ago. My oldest boy got home and said "who used my board"... Thanks for the idea, Fiddy...doin' a tranny r/r for a bud of mine this weekend. Olson
Why use your creeper when the local grocery store has plenty of tranny dollys all over the parking lot? bring a hacksaw and a pick up truck.
when i used to deliver bread, would find spare old rack dollies around, most grocery stores got them just sitting out back, i used to grab the ones that had a bad wheel and would dump racks, take them outa commission b/4 i spent a hour picking up my load off the ground. right now i got a few motors sitting on tire dollies i am not using at the moment.
