cab weight?

Anyone have an idea of how much a cab with only front and back glass, no doors or seat weighs?

I have a pair of saw horses that can handle 350 pounds each. I am pretty sure they can safely handle it but want to be sure.

Thanks,
Steve

Re: cab weight?

I managed to put my cab on saw horses by myself (almost fell on me) without a jack or anything. I don't think it weighs more than 600lbs by the way it felt, but that's just a guess... I was using a couple of stands that were made out of 2x4's

Re: cab weight?

Cool.

I was pretty sure it was light enough to manage. Gonna use my engine hoist and 4 eye bolts in the mount locations to lift it safely.

Thanks,
Steven

Re: cab weight?

it's been discussed on other threads here; bare cab without doors and glass is about 300lb.
