Just out of curiosity, how many people did it take to move the bed? I'm heading towards that part of the project on my 3800, and I will need to line up help. I figure it will weigh quite a bit, I can barely lift one of the bedsides by myself, and with the wood and cross sills I assume I'm looking at four or five hundred pounds.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
