Looking for some ideas on moving my car?

[Clay Harrison]

This is what we have in the front. After 6 long years with little progress, I've decided to collect my 66 Sport Fury. Of course, I have the problem of the front suspension being dismantled and I doubt trying to put it back together at the mechanics shop is an option. I'm hoping someone else has had the need to make a similar move and can share some ideas of how to get my baby on a rollback.

Thanks in advance!

Large U bolts around the dash frame.
Casters welded to the bottom. Or, caster with 4 holes to put the U bolts through.
Use 2x4's to space the U bolts up and down.

How about a 4 x 4 with swivel casters on the bottom and a 2 x 4 on top. The 4 x 4 would go across under the frame rails as in the picture and bolt to the sway bar mounts.

if it won't roll, drag it? strap some old tires w/o rims together , maybe 3 and strap it to K frame, drag away, How would the Egyptians do it? maybe put a 2/4 sheet of plywood down first and then the tires, maybe sprinkle some pea gravel on the rollback so the plywood moves smooth

Wow the Egyptians had plywood.

Aliens had plywood.

OK, so maybe the Egyptian didn't have plywood, but they did have skids made of wood, same difference. LOL

Some good ideas here. Looks like I'm gonna be doing some carpentry work in his driveway. Thank you all!

A bit over engineered, but this is what I did when I removed my stub frame.

Is the rear of the car intact and have working rear axle and tires.
If so, we use a wheel lift tow truck with the wheel saddles removed.
Will this be a very short tow?

Unfortunately, it's going to be a fairly long tow. Talked to the rollback folks and they pretty much agree on wood blocking along with a gizmo they will provide. This should be the last time I need them since I pulled the trigger a gooseneck flatbed trailer over the summer.
