Has anyone recently completed a Resto on a 68 Charger that made or had made a Support w/ Wheels that is used when you remove the K-Member and all the front Suspension in order to Paint and Restore the Suspension and Engine Compartment? No time to make my own and just maybe someone here made them and no longer need them and willing to sell. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Joe

I made my own from home depot and harbor freight.     Surprisingly brilliant that it's wide enough to roll right onto the 4 post stacker lift or a trailer if necessary.    I had the wheels in more before I moved them out.

4 foot 4x6.     Got some long bolts and went thru the wood ( 3/4 wood bit ?)  into the front K frame holes.   Can't quite recall if they were 9/16 or 5/8 coarse thread.  Probably about 5.5 or 6" long.

12" pneumatic tire casters.   Lag bolted to the 4x6.  10" might work.     12" are about 450 lb capacity each,   10" are rated about 300 lbs.   

I'm thinking I might make another setup for the rear while I'm busy sandblasting what's left of my car to get the rear springs out of the way.

Mopar Muscle recently did a "tech article" (advertisement in disguise?) on body dollies. The mentioned making your own, or buying pre-fabbed kits.
In case you don't want to make your own & spend 4x the amount, US Car Tool sells body dolly "kits".

They also pictured a universal body cart available from Summit Racing.

Using that piece of wood is really clever.
