Washburn's Metal Frame Horn Dolly — Single Wheel | VW Beetle, Bus, Ghia, Type 3 | 6" Locking Caster (T02)

Washburn's Metal Frame Horn Dolly — Single Wheel | Transmission-Out VW Chassis

Pull the transmission and your VW chassis has nowhere to sit — and old jack stands are how projects end up on the floor. The Washburn's Metal Frame Horn Dolly bolts to your frame horns and rolls the chassis safely around the shop, no tipping, no falling. This is the single-wheel version.

Vehicle Fitment

• VW Beetle (Type 1): All years
• VW Bus, Karmann Ghia & Type 3: Pre-1968 (through 1968)

Note: Bolts to the frame horns after the transmission is removed.
