That's exactly what it's like.

I even struggle removing them, and I'm 6'3".

I tried to save a little bit of weight by welding up an aluminum seat frame for them....but that's like having a diet coke when you pig out at the all you can eat buffet.

When we got rid of the trailing arms in my truck, I want to say that them plus a tow hitch weighed in the 135lb range but don't quote me on that.
Super Chevy's numbers, 185lbs

Vfn says the glass bumper is 4.5pounds. If stock one is 26 thats pretty good for 160 dollars.

His truck is a 66, so it's not the same bumper.

Re: I need some weight-loss projects on my 66

I have had both us body and unlimited, the us stuff I could not even use not to mention they were a holes when I called them. ended up using unlimited and took a lot of work to paint.dont know that I would ever use either again. I paid 6-700 bucks for each one back in 2000 or so. not trying to bash but think long and hard before buying.
