Weight of '72 cab/plan for wood cab dolly

Anyone know the approximate weight of a '72 cab, stripped?

Anyone have plans for a wooden cab dolly? I've got to make something up quick and cheap for cab storage.

Thanks!

No doors or interior...with glass. I had to move my cab with a couple buddies and it was HEAVY. Didn't think it'd be that heavy honestly but I'm geussing AT LEAST 400lbs cuz we lifted a 90's Chevy extended cab a few days before and it was lighter than my '68 cab.

there are some good ones here in some posts. We don't know the weight but it does not take too much to build one. main thing is good casters and big ones to.
Our customers generally want them after we build them so I don't have any full pictures. We just build them out of 2x4 with plywood and some triangle corner braces with plywood. just make sure casters are mounted good so they don't come off or the cab might fall.

this one is close to like what we build
