500 lbs sounds very heavy - two people can eslily lift a Jeep body - are
M151 bodies that much heavier?

It weighs 500 pounds? The trailer won't fit down the driveway? Adapt,
improvise, overcome.
Get nine friends/neighbors to help carry the thing to the curb, where the
trailer is sitting by prearrangement.
10 people into 500 pounds = 50 pounds per person.
Next question?
