It took 3 guys to lift my 68 cab (with windshield and rear glass). My 69 cab completly gutted and the roof cut off i removed myself. Not sure if that helps but i would guess the 68 cab weighed about 2-300 lbs for sure.

Re: how much does a bare cab weigh?

I agree, is it's totally stripped then 300 pounds is a good guess. The weight is in the front so be careful, With loaded doors and glass it's over 500 lbs total for sure.

I have been moving mine around for months now and don't think so. Of course without a big scale none of us know for sure...

Re: how much does a bare cab weigh?

Id say 400-500 stripped is very close......I just set mine on the chassis about a month ago....And it took 4 good size dudes.....Its easy to roll around or even tip it off a cart...or on...But.....Its a different ball game Picking it all the way up...............

Re: how much does a bare cab weigh?

I'd say 4-500 pounds. It always takes three or four guys, me and 68350. And he's 6'5" 300 some pounds. We stick him on the heaviest corner. Try a monte carlo shell. That took four of us one one side, and an engine hoist on the other, with somebody standing on it. That was interesting how we got that on a trailer. But yeah, I'd say 400 pounds roughly gutted.
