I need to know a rough weight of a 1966 short step bed complete with gate for shipping info. Anyone know?

Need more info. With wood? With cross sills? With strips?

Complete as removed from truck. With cross sill and a wood floor although the floor has a couple holes.

My guess is 250-300 lbs. But thats just a guess...

**jayoldschool** · 01-18-2017, 10:09 AM

I'd agree. I lifted my fully built Fleet/LWB with a strap and my engine hoist for installation.

Thanks for the responces, I had guessed around 300lbs. but the shipper thought it would be 600. I know two guys can lift them with some effort so he is way off.

300 is light to me. I would say 425-450

He ended up telling the shippers 600 to cover crate a pallet weight.
