The S-IC rested in the Rocket Park on the transporter which had been designed to move Saturn V first stages around in the 1960s. The transporter would continue to serve this purpose, even after the stage would be moved indoors -- they just removed the wheels and related equipment and put the remaining frame on support columns in the Saturn V Center.

Even though the rear dolly still had its wheels when we left the Rocket Center a little after 5:00 on July 9, we found that the wheels had been removed by the time we arrived the next morning.
