Estimated Weight of Hood - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72BlckButy · 09-26-2011, 01:27 PM

Guys, I'm looking to see if anyone knows the weight for a hood. Looking at possibly shipping a hood and I just want an idea as to how much one might weigh.

If someone could actually weigh a hood, that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance,
Nate

i think its around 75lbs you could call and ask them how much

Just check with classic parts or LMC.

True... but I'd be concerned that the aftermarket hoods may be lighter than OEM.

ya it is a classic · 09-26-2011, 09:34 PM

well my 67 hood was about 50 or more lbs. but my 72 hood was like 35? i might be crazy but i think the 72 is way lighter

Which year are you lookin for Nate? I can weigh my GM 68 hood if that helps. Do you need 69 + ?

72BlckButy · 09-26-2011, 09:50 PM

Actually CC69Rat it's a '67/68 hood so that would be awesome!!!!

Thanks buddy!

My hood is at my dad's shop, I can get him to weigh it in the morning if that's cool (?) I'd do it for you tonight but my house is about 40miles from dad's. He's asleep I'm sure.

We moved it around this past weekend trying to work some small dings out. I'm guessing 75 like Willie said is about right but I'll post it (actual) in the morning.

i just weighed a 67 hood today for shipping and it was 70 pounds on the nose.

72BlckButy · 09-27-2011, 09:09 PM

Thanks CC69Rat and bucket!!

bucket... what are you plans for shipping the hood? Greyhound? UPS? Building a box? Wrapping in cardboard?

CC69Rat · 09-27-2011, 09:16 PM

Nate - he is on it, I got 71 but it could be the scale.
