Another weight question...

[84gmcjimmy]

Okay because I am impatient /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif, and no one replied to my post in the forsale forum (shipping weights thread) I will post it here...
As most of you should know, I am taking the tub off of camok5, so I am trying to find some worthy people of helping me lift it onto some wood so I can pull the frame out, question is, how much does the tub weigh, from the firewall, to the rear? Thanks!!

By the looks of your pictures, your tub should crumble off in pieces...no need to get a bunch of people over to help. /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif

this is just a guess but I was watching horsepower T.V and they had a fiber glass 55 chevy and it weighed 500 lbs, so the blazer tub prolly weighs a bit more than that so maybe 700-800 lbs /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Assuming you're taking off the doors but leaving in the windshield, and it is a full cab K5 (post '75), and you already have the fiberglass top off...look to have at least 6 guys to lift it. Wayne sold me a rear tub that was from just behind the front seat mounts to the tailpan and the 2 of us could not easily lift it off the ground (I move 500+ lb headstones for a living so I'm fairly strong). I'd guess easily 700-1000lbs.

Your gona need at least 5-6 large guys to lift that sucker off. I don't know what it weighs but its heavy and most certainly ackward. This is from experience. Also don't forget to get your dimmer switch. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif. but that's a whole nother story.

Yeah I was figuring around there, I don't quite know how where going to do it, but I don't think I can find 6 guys to help, but maybe less than that if we all do one side, then the other (front, then the back) or something. I just have to lift it high enough so it can clear all the drivetrain when I roll it out. Then after the frame and stuff is rolled out, we'll set the body on wood until spring /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif
