Body Lift Help

And by that I mean, help lifting a body. I scored a deal on a '78 bronco body, $300 for the tailgate, and $300 for the rest of the body. Wondering if I can borrow some bodies for lifting it onto a trailer, and then off again. Not sure what it weighs, but I'm quite sure it will be less than a chevy crew cab. Hopefully next week I'll be picking it up.

The body is just off McKnight and Center st. The when is the question mark right now, might be the weekend, possibly next week. I'll try and find a weight on it, but it should be gutted. No top, no doors, no dash, so it shouldn't be too bad. But I think Luke said something similar, and we know how that turned out.

I'm down in Airdire instructing until the 18th and then back on the 22nd. I can make it if after 18:00. I don't know Calgary well, but I can punch in an address into my GPS or jump in with you.

That was my thinking. No interior, no top, no tailgate, should be pretty light.

Kerry, if you get a free night, we should go for some eats.



To everybody, thanks for the offers. When I get a date nailed down, we can go from there. I'm sure 6 bodies should be enough.
