Weight of frame

Post by Gerry »

could someone tell me the weight of a bare frame. I am ready to disconnect from the axles for sandblasting, also what is the best way to move the axles around to get them sand blasted..
Thanks,
Gerry

I left my axles on the tires and just rolled them around... As far as frame weight, I would guestimate in the 500-700 lbs range...

I would say four-5 or 6 if you have a winch on it. Everything else seems to take 4-bed, cab, etc.

I was surprised how light it seemed. 4 of us lifted mine on the trailer to go to the blaster. 4-6 guys should handle it :)
