How Much Does A Bed Weigh?


Recommended Posts

I've harvested a few beds. Two average guys can lift one off with little difficulty. So.... I'm thinking 250-300 lbs or so.

Yep, right in that range. I can lift a corner up to slid carts under with a little difficultly. Four people makes it easy and less awkward.

lol

I guess that makes me the only idiot that takes it off and puts it back on by myself :)

I usually pop the 4 corners off one at a time,

lift/slide it back so the bottom sits on the top of the tires,

then slide it across the tires till I can stand it up on end behind the truck.

Then you can stand inside it, lift it straight up and put it where you want it.

I thought it was around 200 lbs. Me and my dad had no issues carring it and putting it into his 250. I got 23 bucks from the scrap yard.

four people did make it a heck of a lot earier to put on though

Didn't they weigh it at the scrap yard?

That makes two idiots here then because that's the way i do it. I don't think of it as being an idiot. I think of it as doing what's necessary when you work alone.

I'm in that boat, so I suppose that'd make it three.  :group beer:

With the assistance from my father, the two of us managed to load, transport and unload my freshly painted long bed. Removing the tailgate helps. 

 

I did notice the short bed felt much lighter than the long bed.... Had a buddy help me lift it on the the '86. Maybe it had something to do with the fact I really didn't mind if it got bumped....
