Shipping weight from the factory. The gas tank will only have the minimum amount of fuel, usually around 3 gallons. So add up the remainder of the fuel to what your tank(s) hold...(1 gallon = 8 lbs).

Depending on the year, rear bumpers were optional. In 1978, if ordered from the factory with a rear bumper, it would have come with one. Otherwise rear bumpers were a dealer installed accessory.
