Weight of doors

Post by Kikmeister »

Hi all,

Would there be anybody who happens to know the weight of the doors on a 1970 F-250 ?

Reason for asking : my doors need some TLC and I plan to take them to work, but at the car-storage, there are no means for lifting the doors, so it needs raw muscle... and I just don't have a lot of it :lol:

Thanks guys !

Totally diassembled I can carry one on each shoulder, through the window, from the basement, out the door, across the back yard, up the back steps, across the deck and into the garage without stopping to rest. That's about 75 feet + 18 steps up. And that's a 56 year old fat man. I'd say about 40-50# each bare. Don't get me wrong, I took a 30 min break after I set 'em down. :lol:

If the glass is out of of them, not to bad. This 60 year old fat man just lifted a pair of them over is head last week to put them on a storage rack.
