F1 Cab Weight

We are looking to remove the cab on our new to us F1 Hot Rod. Anyone know approx weight?

We have engine and tranny out and it is a custom frame so looks easy to unbolt. I have lines and stuff I would like to run and work on linkages.

Can you add some more details that would factor in the approx weight? Does it have the seat still installed, custom power windows, all glass, etc? I have twice moved an empty, stripped cab with just one other person and neither of us were power-lifters.

A 3-4 man lift (2 if you have a disregard for personal well being) or an engine lift can be rigged for the job.

This cab for my F2 weighed I'd guess about 180 pounds - stripped of everything like gas tank, window regulators, glovebox. Two of us picked it up and placed it on the frame. Having a 3rd person would have been nice to help guide it but i only had one neighbor nearby.

Tom is quite correct about the stripped weight of the cab. Anything attached - like the steering column - would obviously change the lift weight but also the balance. Your picture shows some shiny paint that wouldn't take well to mishandling.

Thanks

The paint is very nice so would have to be careful inside is simple and a bit chopped as you saw. No glass in doors or mechanisms could bucket seats
