    Might be a bit of an odd question, but i'm wondering if anyone knows the weight of the frame. I have a 58 Short Fleetside and basically am trying to figure out what I can set the frame on while I grind it down and repaint it. Thus knowing the actual weight would be a lot of help. Anyone actually know this off hand?

    FWIW,dont know the weight but with my 58 frame stripped of everything my dad and I were able to pick up
    and put on two saw horses and strip and paint it.
    It is rather heavy, tho if I had to guess, I would say 250-300
    lbs?

    Thanks, that's exactly what I was doing and I wanted to make sure the sawhorses would be able to support the weight.
