8" steel tube n lower control arms. where u finding the tube?
I am bagging my 71 c10 and I can't find the 8" steel tube to sink my bags into my control arms. I have called every welding shop and pipe shop here. They can't even roll me a piece. So where you guys finding it at? And if nothing else anyone wanna ship me a few small pieces lol

Re: 8" steel tube n lower control arms. where u finding the tube?
i was in the same situation so dont worry, i ended up sectioning it instead.
my other idea was to get some flat stock and bend it, just get a 4' strip so you have extra. or if you heard of afterhour fabrication they can sell you a 8" cupp kit https://www.facebook.com/AfterhoursFabrication, if not through facebook you can reach them through the c10forum
