    I'm not going to melt this one. Going to hang it on the wall over my bench.

    Big beastie. Nail it up good: having a pound of lead fall on your noggin would make for an unpleasant day.

    I got a bunch of various truck weights when getting a tire at one of the companies vendors. Guys saved them in oil drums and someone would come by every once in a while to get some and make go kart wheel weights I think he said. I asked if I could have some and he told me to take all I wanted so went home and came back with my pickup. 6oz and up. I find them on the ground at truckstops every once in a while and at truck repair places if I'm in for something. Lots of zinc now, though and inside tire balance stuff that comes in bags.

    I have melted a few of those. Always neat to spot them.

    I get truck weights occasionally but I think 14oz is my biggest one. You really worked your way into a good score with that deal.

    Truck weights seem to make harder bullets than auto weights from my experience. I once had a source but they got a new tire guy in and he reused the old weights so there went that source./beagle
