Lots of folks around here use round bales for weight. Works good, but does block your rear view of course, but it's about the cheapest unless you get some bags and fill them full of sand, others use cement blocks. Scrap yards don't pay a heck of a lot for scrap steel, but if you want a piece they'll charge you an arm and a leg for it, so using 400-500lbs of scrap steel from a scrap yard is going to hit your wallet quite hard, V.s buying a round bale off someone for $20. Some people just shovel alittle sand in the back of their trucks, but I wouldn't reccomend doing that as the sand is going to get wet and stay wet which will rust your box out. HTH!
