When my wife was bookkeeper for my hometown, they tore up some brick streets and had the paving bricks up for grabs.

My wife cobbed onto a pile. I had, at the time, a '67 GMC 1/2 ton pickup, 250 ci six cylinder. I backed up to the pile after dark and we stacked several hundred bricks inside the tailgate where they'd be easy to unload. When we drove off, I realized the pickup was sitting on the rear axle. We only had about six miles home, and I took back roads and idled most of the way.

I weighed one of the bricks the next day and found they weighed 8 1/2 pounds each. We had something like 3,000 pounds stacked right inside the tailgate of that poor 1/2 ton pickup. After we'd unloaded, it didn't seem like we'd hurt it any.
