I'm enlisting helpers to lift the bed off of my 53 M-37 and turn it over for some cleaning and repair. Does any one know what the bed weighs?

Don't know what it weighs, but 4 strong guys can do it.

We loaded ours back onto the frame -2 adults, 4 teenagers - I guess it to be about 300#. The issue is the size is hard to handle without one person per corner.

I removed my bed by myself using a engine lift and a couple of saw horses. Then i rolled the truck out from under the truck.

Dang! You're a stronger man than I am, Bubba!
Are you by any chance "The World's Strongest Redneck" on the Bill Engvall's Country Fried Video show?
