My guess would be about a hundred pounds, maybe more with brakes. Grab onto it and look down while standing on a bathroom scale but that could be dangerous.

Stand it on end on a bathroom scale - while mamma's at work.

I would guess around 125-150 if gutted. I was able to carry one from the truck to a shop a while ago and I'm no Arnold!

My guess would be 150-175 lbs if complete.

Ford 9-inch rear, complete, is 195 pounds according to a breakdown on the HAMB.
I'd guess they're pretty similar in weight.
