duster weight ?

-
all original before I hacked it up it weighed 3450 with a half tank of gas. 73 340 4spd with an 8 3/4 out back. No air no power steering with front bucket seats, factory sunroof, and foldown rear seat.
 
Good info. I've got a 72 and had no idea that the 72's were so much lighter. I'm thinking about blowing off doing the interior and saving cash and weight. Fiberglass hood and trunk lid are in the plans too.
 
got to weigh mine last week, without me and a half a tank of fuel 3105, with me 3295
 
LOL @ DareDevil... ya, that might have something to do with it.
 

Yes, Its sickening how much more our 74 Duster weighs compared to the 72. Iam getting ready to cut out most of the reinforcement plate behind the front bumper. Ive also been drinking light beer to help....


I did that and it lightens those bumpers up substancially. ( if it has bumperettes on it, lose them too(they way about 15 lbs extra) and fill the holes with bumper bolts, it looks way better. I trimed the reinforcement plates/beams down to where the just resemble early bumper brackets and lost the bumperettes, it took about 50 lbs offf of each bumper.
