I am not looking for a great deal. I just need to get it for whatever
is the market price.

I need a structural rectangular tube, about 4 feet of it, dimensions
8x10 inches in cross section by 0.625" to 3/4" thick.

Does anyone know any steel supplies who procure that sort of stuff.

Thanks



Here is one site that lists 12" x 8" to 5/8" wall.

The http://www.saginawpipe.com/rectangular_tubing_chart.htm
page at that site lists 10x8 with 5/8" wall. You might be able to
substitute it for 8x10 by rotating it 90 degrees.


That sounds like a pretty complicated operation, there -- don't you need
special fixtures to do that?
