Bed weight

[hotkarl]

Got a lead on a nice clean bed. Wondering how heavy they are, Can 2 able guys handle moving it around?

Not really, ive seen 4 guys take a bed off.

Another option is to have a tow truck with a boom lift for you.

I haven't lifted a bed in a very long time, but I remember being able to do it with 2 guys, I know it's awkward weight.
Just haven't done it in a while and not sure if a Ram bed is overly heavy for whatever reason.
A tow truck is not an option. I'm thinking of strapping it in the back of my truck or just maybe possibly removing my bed, driving out to pick it up and slap it in place for the ride home and adjust and align properly When I get home.

I like this option.

I have a new set of tail lights so I could somehow screw/secure the old ones to the frame to try and avoid getting pulled over. It's a 70 or so mile trip to get the bed.
