Yes....if you have rust holes it's going to weigh less. That's common sense.

A person can always scrap a bicycle out. Some parts might be worth cash on their own. If cheap steel frame, place that along with other light steel in that scrap pile. A good scrapper is always thinking and trying new options. People that want to do as little work as possible usually get the least coin for their efforts. Sound familiar...

gas tanks need two holes to let the old gas out, so when the shredder chips them up no explosions.
another tick is to fill them with water to add weight 18 gallons is 180 pounds
prices went up here today $ 300 ton Cd or 260 USD$
Al wheels went to 1. 00 pound...were there 4- Al on your truck coonman220?
