How much does a 1973-76 Duster factory deck lid weigh?

How much does a 1973-76 Duster factory deck lid weigh (without any go wing cutouts and free of rust or bodywork)?

I just purchased a mint 1976 Feather Duster deck lid with the aluminum under side and put it on my calibrated digital scale. It weighs 30.0 lbs.
Just curious to see the actual weight savings for future reference.

I just weighed my 75 Duster lid not long ago. I will have to look when I get home. Don't have the paper with all the weights I have taken with me and I don't remember what it was. Don't think it was much over 30LB though. I am just using a bathroom scale so don't know how close it is. I hold the part then subtract my weight.

I was afraid of that.
A careful bathroom scale weigh will be pretty close, that'll give me a ball park idea until I can weigh one on my scale (to keep some continuity in my weight list).

I changed out the lid on my Duster and I would say it weighs around 40 -50 lbs.

I got 37LB on my list. Thats with a bathroom scale so..........?

I did weigh my self then hold it and then subtract my weight so it should be closeish.

Close enough for me, until I can verify for myself.

Thanks!
