1948 1/2 ton 3100. If I remove the doors and hood and fenders, how many people will it take to lift the cab off the frame, and put it on a trailer? and the bed, too.
Will I need a shop crane lift? or just some burly dudes?

4 people should find it easy to lift/move either cab or bed .... yer burly friends will do fine, especially with the promise of a few beers after

One easy ways is to lift it just enough to slide some 2 bys under it then just slide it off to one side. With a shop crane, I've lifted them by myself.

When I need to move my cab on the cart to a different position, I just call my two 30 year old nephews and they do it for me. A stripped cab mind you.. about 300 pounds or less. I have an electric winch hanging on the ceiling and would use it, but its an excuse to see the kids!
