How much does it weigh?
 About how much would a complete '70 short, stepside bed with a wooden floor weigh? Would it take four old grown men to lift it off? Mine is poorly mounted and I've decided to rewire the whole back end. I'll take anybody's educated guess. Thanks a bunch! Toby |

Re: How much does it weigh?
I bet you could, a cherry picker would work also.

Re: How much does it weigh?
Me , my wife & a buddy of mine took it off & set it on a platform about 25 ' away . I'd say about 400 lbs.

Re: How much does it weigh?
2 people..that's all I ever have around when I'm moving mine lol Not hard to move. Since you're truck is nice though, I'd say 4 oldie's would be best as less chance to drop or scratch the paint.

Thanks for the help and comments. As for the paint: It ain't paint, it's pa-tina! A rescued Georgia (17 yrs. outside) farm truck, The paint doesn't look anywhere as nice as the picture. (lot of flash, I guess). At least I have an idea how much adult beverage it will take to remove it ! Agains thanks for the help! Toby Last edited by TobyArnot; 06-03-2011 at 08:20 AM. |

Re: How much does it weigh?
Quality paint or not, I always hang a blanket inbetween the cab and the box. It is extremely easy and common for the box to slide forward and dent/scratch the cab. Just my .2cents.

Re: How much does it weigh?
if the sole reason is to rewire the back of the truck, then you are creating a lot more work by pulling the bed. There's not many wires back there, and you can do it in just a few hrs.

Re: How much does it weigh?
If all four of you pour your adult bevereges in glasses & set them in each corner of the bed while moving , they can be used as a leveling process
