What would you fellas think the pieces-parts of a stripped K20 would weigh? Bare cab, empty bed (w/wo tailgate), and the frame itself (stripped - no axles, suspension - nothing).

Finagling with making carts and such for picking things up, wheeling things around, putting it in paint, then gracefully re-assembling.

I got it all apart but it was fugly - will have to improvise - overcome - adapt to get it back together without a show. Also found that chi-com sht HF sells they call castors are as much a joke as about everything else they sell with a 'rating'.

Thanks.

I found a post where someone weighed a stripped cab at 333lbs. Sounds about right from what I remember messing with mine. Nothing definitive but I would bet the bed is around 300 also. Two of us could lift one, but balancing it was a challenge.
