Frame question? Blazer top question?

Are short 2 wheel drive frames the same for a wide bed and a stepside?
How many people does it take to lift and move a Blazer top off the body and put it someplace else (assuming it is unbolted!!)?
Thanks guys~~~~Huck :p

The top weighs about 350lbs 2 people can do it but 3 might make it easier.

The frames are the same for the two. We use four guys to move the Blazer tops around, even though two can pick a top up, (it weighs close to 400 pounds).

4 to move top safely. i made a sling out of old seatbelts and a cable winch, and i only have to lift mine up into the garage ceiling, and leave it hanging.
