Does anyone have a ballpark idea of how much a 3/4
ton chassis weighs? I need to know how much beer I have to buy when I ask my friends to help me load it onto a trailer for a trip to the 'blaster!
Thanks!

I don't have my reference books handy, but I believe the bare frame is around 300-350 pounds. When I took my 53 3/4 ton frame to the blaster, we had four guys, one on each corner, and it was quite easy to carry it across the garage to the trailer. We only NEEDED one beer apiece. Once we got the frame to the blaster we MAY have had another grin

If my math is correct, that translates into 4 guys, and one beer to get loose, one beer after lifting and moving the beast, and one beer before the drive home. This is New Mexico, after all.
