Long Box Weight
Just like the post says. I'm looking for the approximate weight of JUST THE BOX of a longbox for a 78.
How many pounds (approximately) do you guys think it is? I need to know so I can rent a cheap trailer to get a truck box.
If anyone has any concrete numbers, not just "oh, it's heavy.." that'd be the best help.

A skateboard could hold the weight of the bed. 2 guys can easily move a bed off a frame and carry it.
Therefore, any trailer that is rated for at least 300 pounds (riding lawnmower tow trailer specs) would suffice.

Yes, like Bullitt says, I've always estimated right around 300 pounds with the tailgate, so I'd think pretty much aaany trailer, made for hauling anything, could hold one. Shape and size are going to be much more the deciding factors for you I think.

Oh that's just fantastic. That's awesome to hear. I was thinking around 500lbs or so, just because the cab I lifted was F***ing HEAVY with only two people. Also, very awkward to move.
Thanks for the info guys. You don't by any chance know the dimensions of a box do you?
I know it's 8 feet long by 5 something wide...ish...

Well I didn't, but my measuring tape did! Somewhere right around (within an inch of) 8'6" long, 6'6" wide, and 31" tall. That's full outside dimmensions, as if you had to build a box around it.
