So you need an actual weight or a rough idea?
With tailgate removed, 2 guys can easily move a bed around.
I would put the total weight around 300. Likely around 225 for the bed alone, around 75 for the tailgate.

A rough idea is fine, I'm building a flatbed for it and I'm trying to figure out how much of a weight difference I'll have before and after. So far the flatbed plans include some steel I beams, a RR tie or two and a 8/4 white oak deck, and I can't imagine that combination is going to be light!

However, a full 8' bed weights a little bit more than 200lbs - I moved one very recently, and four of us were able to do it - I was probably lifting a little more than my 25% of it, but I would say the total weight was probably ~250-275lbs. It was heavy enough that we moved it just far enough, then slid it the rest of the way onto the trailer

We could easily lift the bed up and over the tires by the wheelwells, rest the bed on the back of the frame and then each person is either at the front or the back and walks it around.
Just found a thread I posted on back in 2007 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...ght-redux.html
Tailgate weighs 46 pounds...
I will add I had never tried moving the entire bed assembly, I always removed the tailgate.
250-275 complete sounds right.
