70 bumper weight

[Ghoste]

Have any of the 70 owners ever weighed their front bumper?  I was just wondering about because I had always imagined they were considerably more than 68-69 bumpers but looking more closely at recent photos on here, I'm not so sure of my original guess.

Dont know but I know the whole thing grille motor, bumper is heavy as heck...... thus if I do used that on my 70  it will be at least a fiberglass front bumper.... I already have that.... I guess fiberglass 7 lbs or less...

On my '71 which should be quite similar..... once all the metal brackets and grills are removed and it's just the loop bumper it is surprisingly light..with the bumper loaded it's a pretty good grunt    just to move it around the shop

You're probably right but oddly, the 71's never struck me as appearing that way.

I bought an extra 70 front clip minus hood back in the 90s.  Took it apart for storage.  Yeah, the
bumper with lower support & frame mounts is heavy.  The rest is not so bad.  I doubt a fibreglass
bumper will save enough weight to really notice.  Now doing up that lower support in Aluminum or
fibreglass will really cut the weight - but there goes your collision protection.
