TX_SS, I dunno if it can be welded, it cracked but also got some dents inside the bottom near the cylinders where the loose bolt was banging around.

Shitty thing is, the blocks arent considered "clean" aluminum. they are No.3 aluminum. Between dirty and clean. Cast in steel liners are what get ya.

Use it in case you need to weigh down a body & chain something heavy to it when you dump the body in the river.

i called a few salvage/recycle yards to see what the best rate on aluminum was.

the one i got the most was over in Oak Cliff. I think i got a total of $65 for it.
