Re: Weight of a original 72 bumper
I was asked the same question a couple years ago when I was selling a NOS rear bumper. It weighed 27 lbs.

Re: Weight of a original 72 bumper
After market I have seen are much lighter, noticeably thinner metal. Have not actually weighed one. I'm a believer in re-plating original. Just sayin - -

Re: Weight of a original 72 bumper
Aluminum or fiberglass ones are lighter-er.
