Angry Man These are Heavy Arrgghh!

So I was cleaning up some of my old truck parts last night - ready to go to the recycler on Saturday. Got the tranny and rearend into the box of my truck quite easily, but that old 305 is a different story. After struggling with it for a while - arrrrggghhhh! - trying to figure out a way to lift it, I gave it up. Called a buddy who has a buddy with an engine hoist. We'll be loading her tonight.

So yes, call me stupid, but that's what I get for being a "do it yourself" kinda guy. A.K.A. IDIOT

Good suggestion - thanks Man. I think my bed rails may come in handy to tie it off to as well. Keep it from rolling over and taking off a box side.

As far as 600lbs goes, I can certainly believe that. I'm surprised I moved it as far as I did.
