The Ford Barn

Good day everyone.
I am going to pick up a 1935 tudor humpback body and frame only this weekend.

I have built a couple axles to put under it to get it on the trailer hopefully.
I was just wondering if anyone else has done similar and what else they required in terms of blocking etc in order to lift the rear frame high enough to roll as well as distance between the tires on the inside measurement.
Going to be in a remote area so I want to try and be ready for surprises.

Suggestions welcomed on what tools, blocking etc to take.

Thanks in advance
Pete

Welcome to the Barn!
Ratchet straps are always handy. Oh,and bungee cords.

ft square 2" boards for axle stands they should go forward of the kick up so you can get the wish bone through .Roll the rear in with out wheels so you don't have a height problem ,you need to get it pretty high to clear the spring roll on a couple boards for tracks ,once the springs in place jack it all up to fit the wheels .Jack the front also rear of the kick up the same ,Ted

An engine hoist makes a good high lift jack.

Thank you for the welcome and advice.
I have been a lurker for sometime and enjoy this forum very much
Got the 35 home with no problem. The two axles I made worked great as well as a 4x4 spanning the arch at the rear of the frame. Some ratchet straps and big c clamps and away we went.
Will post a new thread once the project has taken a start.
Cheers
