What does a stock 10 bolt rearend weigh? Trying to find out how much weight adding various 12 bolt or 9" rears will add to a 98-02 f-body, but can't seem to find out how much the stock assembly which will be replaced weighs. Thanks for any info.

I just converted to a 9" rear axle and here are the weights I had:
Stock axles- 18 lbs each
Stock rear end with Torsen differential and 3.42 gears- 102 lbs.
For a total stock rear end weight of 138 lbs with out the backing plates, brakes, or lubricant.
The 35 spline 9" with a Strange Pro Iron center section with Locker and 4.11 was as follows:
Axles- 23/22 lbs- total- 45 lbs.
Moser Housing with T/A-83 lbs
Strange 3rd member ( Pro Iron center section, Locker, gears, yoke)- 79 lbs.
Misc hardware (bolts, bearings, seals, etc.)-3 lbs
This means that the 9" weighed 210 lbs with out backing plates, brakes, or lubricants.
The 9" weighed in a total of 72 lbs heavier.
All in all, by the time I included the C/M driveshaft, and suspension pieces (Spohn T/A and sway bar brackets), the total conversion cost me 100 lbs.
