Can any of you guys tell me what a standard cab pickup cab weighs?
No doors,no seat,just the bare cab.Actually its a 91 F350 dually 4x4 Dump i'm workin on to pull my Kubota.So it is kind of a "tractor" project.I live in the salt belt and it needs a floor job and cab mounts.Thats why its coming off.
Does'nt have to be an exact figure,just ballpark.I have to know how many guys it takes to lift it.:D

Hmmmmm......... i've changed them, but used a wrecker to lift them. I'm thinking you will want six strong guys at a minimum. You could also jack it up, block it (wider than the wheels of the truck)and roll the chassis out from under it.

I pulled the cab on my 81 Chevy with an engine hoist. The hoist was at full extension and didn't even grunt so it can't be too bad. I'd guess 300-400lbs tops. I also pulled the bed and it weighed more than the cab.

Yeah,i think it would be just as easy to jack it up and roll the frame out from under.I dont have anything around here high enough to lift it with a chain hoist,so thats what i'll prob. do......springtime project:)
This is one thing i've never done on a pickup-pull the cab.Done just about everything else,but not that.I really want to do a good job on it ,so its coming off.
thanks.....Digger2
