Core support weight? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anybody know how much a core support weighs for 69-72 Chevy? I can't seem to find it listed in any catalogs.

Thanks,
Mark

35lb.

That seems light to me. You are talking about the entire radiator core support? I would have guessed at least 75 lbs.

The one I have is new, entire core support 35lb on bathroom scales.

Seems right to me. I weighed our tailgate at 52 lbs. It was loaded with dirt and other crap, the aftermarket one weighed 51 lbs.

RW71 thanks for the confirmation. That blows my mind. I haven't lifted one, but I thought a front fender weighed more than that. I must be getting old
