Re: tubeing question

1.75x.120 would be pretty standard.

check out dezertrangers, there are a ton of guys in your area that could probably hook ya up with the tube and a couple bends.

Re: tubeing question

sometimes smaller pieces like what you require are available at recyclers or salvage yards// or check yellow pages for steel or ask at your local welding supply shop for a place in the area

Re: tubeing question

i use a lot of 1.5" .120 wall tubing and around here it's anywhere from $2.50/ft to $4/ft for the steel. the one fab shop i talked to about making some bends for me before i got my ownbender said he would charge me $20/bend plus $2/ft for the steel used. hope that helps
