Who sells / looking for a place to buy chrome or SS tubing
 
As always, the projects never end. I'm looking for a place to buy either chrome or stailess steel tubing. I don't have exact dimesions yet or wall thickness needed but I am going to replace the stock long tie-rod (4x4) and another tube with the shiny stuff. I can drill and tap my own so all I realy need is a supplier for the blanks. Any help would be appreciated.

Try ALRO steel corp. I thinl they are nationwide. Look in the yellow pages.

Pont the biggest place in the State of Oregon that deals with non ferous metals is Alaskan Copper and Brass. They are in Portland.
You may also find what you are looking for a McMaster Carr.
Try McMasterCarr.com

Hey Pont, here's a link for you. I've had pretty good luck with them. They carry a ton of stainless fittings. I buy alot of stainless steel tubing at work (3/8" & 1/2"). It comes from a place in southern Cali....It's called Uchida Pipe. A buddy from work is making a stainless underbed fuel tank. I got all of the fittings from the link I'm posting. http://plumbingworld.com/

I use http://MSCDirect.com at work. They are great for smaller quantities. They carry all kinds of different metals. Industrial supplier.

Many thanks for all your help guys. I've been busy changing a heater core in my truck tonight ( clean and paint everything, new stainless braided heater hoses, etc.) so I will check out all those links tomorrow. Again, many thanks, I didn't know where to begin looking.
