How big is the compressor? I've got an 80 gallon one which I was able to
unload by myself (and I'm a scrawny guy) out of the back of a borrowed F250.
It's really bulky, but wasn't outrageously heavy. When they loaded it, I
had them put the pallet (that the compressor was mounted on) on some furniture
pads (so I wouldn't scratch the truck). I found that it was fairly easy to
slide the compressor to the end of the bed on those pads (took off the tailgate
as I wasn't sure how much weight it could hold). Then I tipped the thing on
it's side and slid it out the back. If you had someone else to help, it
should be a piece of cake. The only caveat is that you need to let it sit
upright for at least a day if you tip it on its side (to let the oil drain).
