Need Tubing - Places?

**4-Banger** · 04-09-2009, 04:32 PM

I'm trying to get some box tubing to put sliders on my Taco. I called the place in Bryan off of 21, but they don't sell by the foot and wanted $98 for a 20ft length of 2x3x3/16".

I only need 15-16 ft, though. Are there other places around town that I could try?

so essentially this thread is about how to save $20?

sounds like you're going to Mack bolt and steel? They're idiots. Go to bryan iron and metal and don't talk to anyone, just drive back to the polebarn and tell the guy with the torch what you want

I called Bryan Iron and Metal, the dude on the phone said they do 10ft or 20ft lengths

hey i have a butt load of 2x3 sitting at my house that i am not going to use. but its like 14 gauge i think.

**4-Banger** · 04-09-2009, 05:25 PM

It needs to be at least 1/8" thick, though.

**bcolman** · 04-09-2009, 05:27 PM

both places will sell it by the foot, just go out there and buy it, dont try and do it over the phone

**4-Banger** · 04-09-2009, 05:30 PM

Will they be open tomorrow, being Good Friday, or will I have to wait 'till Monday?

Mac deffinately sells by the foot. A little more expensive but it takes way less time than Bryan Iron and you dont have to worry about **** in the back of your truck walking away while you're inside paying.
