David K Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Where do you guys get your stuff in SoCal? I need some steel or aluminum for a gas and water jerry can rack in the back of my project Pathfinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhsbZ Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 M&K metals in Gardena, on Western just north of Rosecrans is where I always go. There is also Action metals in Wilmington on PCH just north of Alameda street, but I can never figure out where the front of the place is or where to park, so I always end up at M&K And there's always yahoo yellow pages: http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypResults.py?stx=metal&stp=n&city=Long+Beach&state=CA&uzip=90802&country=us&msa=4480&cs=4&ed=Ml7ZoK1o2Tz7LGVA50idRaamqnUlOw_cUhO07HASFF.AVQ-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I SECOND THAT SECOND SUGGESTION FROM JOHN C! Schorr Metals in Anaheim, Off the 91 at Kraemer/Glassell, North to Placentia---Southwest corner of Placentia and Kraemer. They sell surplus metal by the pound, as well as new stuff. It's RIGHT around the corner from McFadden-Dale hardware, as well! Perfect proximity for one-stop-shopping. Between those two places you can get in real trouble! They have short end-cuts of Billet Aluminum, nice for lathe projects when you don't want a big peice or to pay for new stuff and pay a cutting charge. I buy a lot of 1/4" Diamond Plate (Aluminum) there for trailer decking, and floorboard stuff. The prices are posted by color code---really easy to figure out. I have been going there for years...like since 1990! And I didn't even know they had a website!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Im going to Schorr in the late morning. I need a some 1/2" steel square tubing and 2 1/2" x 3" or 3"x3" for my rock sliders. Man this is gonna be fun, thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
