72 C10 Cab/Bed Weight and Lift Question

[roushinator]

So i have a few questions.

How much does an empty 72 C10 Cab weigh?

And how much does a 72 C10 step side bed weigh?

And has anyone see a homemade or some kind of kit that connects to the rafters in a garage that would allow you to use pulleys to hoist the bed/ empty cab off of the frame. Maybe a 2-4 pulley system that would distribute the weight? I am not looking for anything to lift massive weight just a system that would allow me to lift the bed/cab off and roll the frame out to work on it and when done roll it back into place. I am just trying to optimize limited space. Thanks.

I'd venture to guess a short fleet bed weighs ~300 lbs. Me and a buddy moved mine.

The cab is really going to depend how much of it is still there (gas tank, seat, steering column, brake booster, A/C, windshield, door, etc). Probably around 300 lbs stripped also.

300 COMPLETELY empty sounds about right cause i was able to lift it with just one other guy.

I know this is really old but I wanted to see if you ever made anything. Thinking of doing the same thing

Double pulley livestock lift should work I used a simple a frame lift for mine

I made a lift bracket and used my engine hoist.
