Any idea or estimate of the weight of a 26 foot GMC without an interior, lifted off the frame?
Hoping someone that has done a frame off restoration might have an idea.
TIA

Your still looking at between 4000 and 5000 pounds of body weight at minimum and that includes the plywood flooring.

I would say that an empty shell is less, around 3000lbs, I used two 2000lbs in front and a single high lift 1000lbs jack in the rear and it was easy to lift from the body, empty with new floor and the bath module.
1973 23' # 1848 Sky Blue Glacier called Baby Blue and a 1973 26'-3 # 1460 Parrot green Seqouia Known as the Big Green,
And sold my 1973 26'-2 # 581 White Canyon lands under the name Dobbelt trøbbel
in Norway
