truck bed weight

well you think i'd be able to guess this being I just replaced my bed...but what is the near weight of an 8ft box? I wanna say around if not more than 200 lbs, I think it might be under that being my friend and I lifted it off a truck and on a truck ourselves

My brother and I lifted off my 8 foot bed back in 98. Of course we were both 10 years younger then. Now I would get more help.

I got the old one off by myself with the assistance of a chain and a tree.

I dont know the exact weight but it is a hell of a lot more than 200 lbs.!!! lol. My 79 F-250 came with a bed off of a 1987-1997 ford. I took that one off by myself ( I am 17), but I had to have 4 people help put the correct era bed on my truck. And we were pretty strong. lol

It didnt seem too much more heavy, the reason I was asking was because I was going to recycle it but then well with the price of steel being .01 at the moment, if it was 200lbs i'd get $2 it'd cost me 20 bucks just to get up there and back home. I might make it into a trailer for hauling wood from down the hill to the house
