Time to chop the box
Ok, I'm done with the uhaul, and now just want a flatbed truck for hauling/towing. I want to get the box off the truck, but leave the aluminum floor as a flatbed. my thinking is to grab a sawsall and chop the hell out of the box along the aluminum until it is freed, then hoist the box off the truck by a rope/ratchet structure from rigging placed between two trees. Anyone have any ideas on this? have you had experience with a uhaul box? anything I've not thought of? The box is wood, with aluminum supports at each corner. Its a 94 F350 dually, 460 cid, 4spd auto with o/d, 4.10 rear, uhaul spec wheels/tires. basically a bone stock uhaul from 94

Never done it but a sawsall and a pack of good blades should do the cutting , if you had a couple of the tall trans jacks , thats what i can them , you could raise it up with them from the inside , then once its cut free just push it off , just a thought....Lew

any guess at how heavy the box would be? I'm going to guess somewhere around 800# but I may be way off. I believe its a 14' box, 3/4" particle board. maybe 7 feet tall. I'm not good at judging weight of wood.
