i ve took a couple crash bars out of GN's and also a couple Oldsmobiles. they weigh a ton. i would guess, 25-30lbs each. we weighed them after we took them out, i just cant really recall the actual weight.

as of the bumper supports, i have no idea on those.

Take the door panels off on one of these trucks and you will see there isn't much that can actually be cut away. I thought the same thing but found out majority is used as structrual in one way or another. Ended up not getting any weight out of the doors besides the sound deadener which couldnt have been 2lbs max

The front metal bumper support with nothing attached (no fog lights bracket or braces) is 16#, the rear bumper support with no bumper brackets or bolts is 10#
