I made one easily and cheaply with two furniture dollies and scrap 2x4's. It worked well for my limited use. I'm sure that there are venders that sell them. It probably just depends on much use it's going to have over it's lifetime.

The couple I've seen I don't know where they came from or if they're homemade. Neither was worth a crap as it was designed to hold the K and the subsequent engine and trans but was built that it was in the way to do an engine install from the bottom. It would have been fine as a run stand or something but wasn't quite what I was looking for at the time. You're better off to just build your own to do what you need.
...FAFO...

That works.
I use a single large furniture dolly. Under $20 at Harbor Freight. I screwed a 2x6 across each short end to raise it up a bit and rest the K on one end and the trans pan on the other. I also use the dolly for storage of just the engine/trans.

Looking for a cradle to mount k- member with engine and trans. Needs to roll. Any vendors that sell something like that?
You don’t weld, correct?

Homemade copy of the U.S. tool one, about $60 worth of steel.
Careful, your character's showing!
