Stupid Question...
Anybody have an idea how heavy a bare cab is? Is it easily movible with 2 or 4 people? I've got some work ahead of me and want to know how much beer I need to buy...

Re: Stupid Question...
I have heard of 2 people doing it, but I would buy enough for 4 people
  4 should be able to lift it up. Mike

Re: Stupid Question...
We used 4 people on a completely stripped bare cab, worked pretty well, clumsy to handle though.

Re: Stupid Question...
I did it with two, but another couple of hands would help!

Re: Stupid Question...
I have done it with two but if I ever did it again I would buy more beer and have four men.

Re: Stupid Question...
With my buddies the amount of people available to help is directly proportional to amount of beer present at the start of the project and totally dependent on which comes first the job or beer.
