64-66 Hood weight

Anyone weighed a 64-66 hood? Any idea what they weigh(besides lots)? Thinking of a new design of front hinges and need the weight. Thanks.

Re: 64-66 Hood weight

I stood on a scale once with the hood in my hands and I seemed to have been 80 lbs heavier.
Not the most accurate way to do it.

Re: 64-66 Hood weight

Good info for when I take mine off by myself again. Only problem with mine is that it has been sprayed underneath with bedliner. Heavier, but more solid and quieter

Had a Big Day, Home Depot, flooring, Bed Bath and Beyond, didn't know if there would be time,

77 pounds bare. Thats no park lights or hood latch.

hood shell with rear brace is 55 lb, front brace is 13.5 lb, front insert is 6 lbs, the braces are 2.5 lb.
