Bed Weight
« on: December 09, 2008, 02:12:35 pm »
Hi guys, I was hoping someone could give me an idea how heavy the bed would be on a our 79 swb? My son was planning on having a bunch of friends over to lift it off this weekend, is this feasible?

4 normal sized guys can handle a swb bed.

4 was a bit of a stretch with a lwb, but with little steps and removing the tailgate, I did it that way.
