I want to move an old Uhaul truck body used as a shed from one location to another. It is 8'x 20'. I need to locate it in a backyard with limited space for manuvering.

You will need a flat trailer with a winch system to put the shed on and then back it into the space where you want to place it. There are guys who deliver sheds all day long that could probably do this for you for a nominal cost. Contact any local shed dealer and ask them who they use and then contact the person yourself. They are professionals and know how to do this and they have the flat trailers with winches needed and usually drive pick up trucks that are medium sized to fit anywhere.

Twinkie is correct, contact a shed dealer, they have the right equipment.
I just received a new 10 x 16 shed and they moved my existing 8 x 12 to another address.
I commented why did they only sent one guy? When I saw what the trailer can do, I understood.
It had dolly wheels that drop down and move the trailer side to side, the tongue extended, even had a "lazy susan" turnstyle pedestal that raised and lifted the shed so it could turn it 90 degrees.
Amazing what this what looked like a simple trailer could do.
