gastank (no gas) and no steering column.
Cab still has all the glass in it.

You sure you want to leave all that glass in it? And the doors on it? That adds a lot of extra weight! I would have to guess with all that stuff you are leaving on it to weigh in easy at 600 pounds or so! Hell a bare cab that is compleatlly striped (just a shell) probably weighs 250-300 pounds!

Sound about right. The doors and seat are the killers here, they are so easy to remove, I can't see a good reaon to leave them on.

I just got my cab completely stripped out over the weekend and I know it has to weigh around 250lbs. My next door neighbors son tried to help me lift it off the frame and we chose not to do it since I wanted it carried around the house to the basement garage. I would take the doors off for sure!

I had a 71 GMC cab weighed at the dump once.
With the seat, fuel tank, most all the under/behind dash parts in it, front and rear glass, no doors, no steering column.
580 pounds.

2 strong people can carry a cab gutted,i have unloaded a bare cab out of my truck by myself slowly with the help of some boards,i even managed to get it up on the frame.But certainly pull the doors and seat,and some bigger heavy parts.
