I need a source for some 3-3.125 x .500 wall DOM for my HP60/14bolt hybrid. Does anybody know of a shop that sells it by the foot, I need 5 feet and all the sources around here only sell it by the joint. I am in Louisiana so shipping distance will be a factor in the price.

Thanks,

Mark

Dynarape sells it, something like $40/ft. I'm sure someone will find it cheaper, but that should make you feel better. :D

I've bought it from Currie in the past, I dont know about 1/2" wall though, it was very reasonably priced considering you are buying it by the foot.

stock dana 60 rears aren't. The fronts are thick because the longside tube is so long, and it has to support a fullsize truck with a diesel. In the rear with the centered diff they don't need to be that thick. Many builders use 1/4 or 3/8, I don't know your application really so maybe it is what you want, but you can get the thinner wall from currie for I think about $12/ foot, which is cheap. I don't know where to get 1/2" wall That was my point.
