me and some friends lifted the steel bed off of my truck which wasnt that bad. then we almost broke our arms and crushed our toes when we put the new wood bed on. the wood bed weighs alot more if you ask me

i second that, I pulled the old Rotted away wood bed off my truck and put a metal one one it. even with very little wood intact it was much heavier then the metal ie: 4 guys instead of 3. the wood is not the heavy part, the crossmembers and support structure for the wood bed is most of the extra weight.
