Re: How much does bed weigh?
I took mine off by myself...but I wasn't worried about scratching it either.....I just slid it off the back, lowered to the ground and then stood it up on the tailgate end.....
Later, I had one buddy help me load it on the trailer....Then it took four guys to place it back on the frame after everything was painted.. I also see quite a few guys use an engine hoist to pull them off using some straps on all four corners...

Re: How much does bed weigh?
I'm 5'-7" and 150 lbs and my friend is 6'-2" about 195 lbs and we took a LWB box out of an enclosed trailor and placed it on my truck. I would say it weighs about 600 lbs and a SWB would be less?? I would say get yourself and 3 others just to be safe though. We Canadians eat alot of bacon. lol

Re: How much does bed weigh?
I use an engine hoist and some straps in the stake pockets on good beds.
Junk beds and cabs, I just lift up the one side, and flop them off the frame. Last edited by Jim_PA; 08-18-2009 at 03:26 PM. |

Day Laborers is right, they are all over everywhere. Have them lift it, pay them $20 each and you are done.
