Hi!

Any reccomendations on places I can buy (or get <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> angle iron in Sac or the Bay ARea? I was looking for a few relatively small pieces to build a rocker guard and a winch mount, and the steel place here in Pleasanton was asking $80 for 10 gauge!!

The dimensions I am looking for are:
-rocker guards: 55X6X10 -55 long by 6 side by 10 side can be 10 gauge or thicker.

-winch mount 33X8X6 Needs to be thicker, probably 3/8's?

I really appreciate your help <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Down the street from my house is a scrap yard that'll probably have some.
They sell it by the pound <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
Might be a little weathered but an agro wire wheel takes care of that.

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the info! I would like to check it out. Do you know what the name of the place is, and who you normally talk with over there?

Thanks,

Gui

I can stop by this saturday maybe and see what they have.

Alling Iron or American Metals in West Sac.
Kimzey Welding in Woodland.
Kimzey did a full fab job on my winch plate, similar dimensions, cost me $60 out the door.

Alling Iron has a scrap bin that they sell cheaply, and every time I have been there, they had what I needed in the scrap.
