Does anyone know how much a cab weighs?
I've got a 68 cab with a/c, still has dash, doors, gas tank and glass. I want to get a wagon to move it around but need a good idea how much it weighs.
Thanks in advance. |

Re: Does anyone know how much a cab weighs?
I am thinking that approx. 650lbs comes to mind when it has most everything in it.
I know (from last Sunday experience) that I can roll a empty cab (only front & rear glass with no doors) from the rockers laying flat on the trailer, to rolled up onto the firewall (firewall flat on trailer) by myself at the carwash. I think the doors are a pretty heavy part of a cab assembly. I think if you remove the doors it would be easier.

Re: Does anyone know how much a cab weighs?
I'd have to say 600+. If you had something rated at 750 you'd be safe. I had mine sitting on 2 medium harbor freight dolly's and it was well supported and rolled like a dream. Beware, it is dramatically nose heavy, even with the gas tank. I tried balancing it with an extra 180 lbs in the rear when hoisting and it still didn't do much.

Re: Does anyone know how much a cab weighs?
I think these guys are right on, we lifted my cab off recently with 5 guys total. I was going to guess 600-700lbs. My cab was exactly as described.
As mentioned above, it's firewall heavy and it was definitely awkward seemed like all of the spots to lift from were sharp, lol.

Re: Does anyone know how much a cab weighs?
This outghta do it, 1400 lb capacity. The sides fold down or come all the way off. $150.00 shipped to my friends business.

Re: Does anyone know how much a cab weighs?
That wagon may support the weight, but it will be hard to keep it balanced on that. I would suggest buying 4 casters and making your own cart.

Re: Does anyone know how much a cab weighs?
May I ask why you are looking to a wagon, as opposed to some other more stable source for maneuvering the cab? While that certainly would work, I'd hate to see it take a ride off that thing, causing damage. The two dolly's I used were more than adequate to roll around a garage and over small cracks. I guess I just don't see overspending, as some of that wagon money could go into your truck!
