removing utility bed

Has anybody out there had any experience removing a utility bed ? I think it weighs about 500 - 800 pounds (see gallery). The best idea I can think of is chains on the lumber rack and a winch. I am replacing the utility bed with a stock 57- 60 type fleetside bed, can 2-3 guys lift this bed and place it on a truck ? thanks for the help.

We used 4 guys to remove one on a 85 Ford, it did not have a roof on it, I helped remove one with a roof and it took 7 guys to do it
