Can someone please tell me the weight of a bed?
just the complete bed, a longbed, steel floor, no tailgate.

Roughly 300lbs. Just a guess but I've removed, moved and re -installed a few by myself. Why do you ask?

It's heavy enough that you can't move it by yourself without a lift of some sort. Does that give you an idea?

Sure you can. I took mine off, dragged it into the house, rebuilt it and installed it without any help. I admit that I used a hoist to put it back on.

As a data point the difference beween a chassis cab C10 and a fleetside C10 is listed as exactly 500 lb.
