Need help with Vehicle certification label weights

The label on the door for gross weights etc. Mine was painted over and I can't read any of the weights. I am going to replace it with a new one.
The car is a 73 coupe
454 LS4
TH400 tranny
3.08 rear
Is there anyone that can match that and show me all the numbers required.
Do you need any additional info?
What about font and type size?
Is there anywhere that shows you how to calculate?
Any pics would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sarge,

Assume you are talking about the "blue label" on the LH Door (rear)

I have a 73 vert, 350, TH400, 3:08. Would those numbers be closed enough?

Thanks Terry. Appears that the pic I posted is for an auto. I had also been looking for the numbers for a 4-speed. Can you send me a pic of the label?

Also forgot to add it has A/C, which will probably change the numbers again.
Is there anywhere these calculations are listed?

Brian, check the weights on the 73Spot, the 454 with auto weighs 54 lbs more than the 454 with 4-speed. So add 54 to Terry's numbers and you should have it.
