Weight of 1937 Buick rear axle

[Mutt's37Buick]

Does anyone know the approximate weight of a 1937 Buick rear axle with springs & brakes, but no wheels.
Thanks

Never thought about weighing one but, I'd guess between 175 and 200

My old 30 Buick rear axle weighs a bunch because the spring pack is really big and heavy. Still my guess, 200-250 lbs.

Thanks for your help.

Well shoot, I didn't pay attention to the part about the springs too
Bh will be closer.

You counting the enclosed driveline also? Add another 100

Thanks for your help.
Have not got this far yet, but do any of you know how the torque tube driveline is separated from the rear axle?

Not sure on a Buick but most of them are splined in at the rear end so you have to unbolt the flange and slide the rear end back.

You have got me curios. Why do you need to know the weight?

I'm swapping the rear axle for modern axle.
I have a buyer for the old axle and I need to get a quote on ship cost.
Thanks

Get you a good hold of it and step on a bathroom scale then subtract your body from the weight.
