I'm in! :-D

Wow, was the scale in calibration? Maybe at Raush creek we can get someones duece and put a guy on each corner and see f they are lifting 2000lbs. (500lbs per man). I think it will be more like 200 each.... not a whole heck of a lot. Unless I had the aluminum version of the bed.

Where is this 2000# lb number coming from? A scale? A book? Just curious. Like I said, two people had no trouble with a drop side (moving it, lifting it). We didn't pick it up and carrry it, but it was not difficult to move or lift. Are you including any frame parts? I just had the...

Most of a duces weight is the axles and frame and engine/tranny/transfer. A single axle has to be about 1000lbs+ complete. the frame is not much, and the bed is sheet steel. A full tire/rim is about 100lbs. The springs torsion bars etc are all pretty hefty units. But the bed... nothing to it.

The guy that bought its on this site.. he can back me up. I just about lifted it up by myself. I made a gantry with 4x4 legs and 2 2x10s for a cross bar... it never even creecked or groaned. When we put it on the trailer we lifted/moved it to place some RR ties under it. 2000lbs? Nope. If...

I just sold my M35 dropside bed, no troop seats. If it weighed over 500lb I would be surprised. When I was unbolting the dropside I was able to lift an end and move it myself. I built a wooden gantry and the thing didn't flex one bit.
