Default Any idea on weight of A body frame?

Trying to get an idea of what a 68'-72' A body frame weighs with all suspension, rear axle, steering box, etc.

Tired of moving around this frame for all the wishbones and low ballers. Most likely going to scrap it and be done with it.

Around 450 pounds would be my guess. I have moved a bare frame by myself before.
