Default 74 Blue Cert Label Inside Drivers Door

can anyone give me the weights off of the blue certification label thats located inside the drivers side door jam. a 74 small block with an automatic transmission would be great but i'll take what i can get at this point. i have the blank sticker, i just need to know the weights.

...my L-48/automatic coupe sticker says...

GVWR 3957 GAWR FRT 1854 REAR 2103

...date in the upper right corner 09/73

...my trim tag reads "B08", which was September 8, 1973

...my car was built on September 11, 1973...according to the letter I have from the original owner from GM.

...I believe so as long as this "trim tag" for this particular VIN # is a very late March car and since those labels are dated by month, it probably was possible. Car could've started down the assembly line at the end of the week, which could've been a Thursday or Friday and car finished up after the weekend which could have possibly started April when the tag "could have been" applied.

based on some posts i have on the ncrs site, it seems that the trim tag was affixed to the body well before it was ever mated to the frame and the blue cert label was one of the very last items attached to the car before it went out the door. so i suppose it is very possible for that to happen.
