Transporting Tractor 1000 miles, Rent??

   / Transporting Tractor 1000 miles, Rent?? #71  
4x8x1/4 = 330# = $0.545/lb

4x8x10ga = 177# = $0.45/lb

I havent priced 20ga......never a use for something that light, but a 4x8x20ga sheet should weigh...~48#....I'd be surprised if I had to pay more than $25 for a sheet of that at my local distributor.

Metalsdepot.com (which is always about twice as high as my local distributor), has 4x10 20ga COLD ROLL sheets for $70.

Metalsdepot always seems to be around $0.90/lb no matter weather its plate, sheet, bar, tube, beams, etc. Local metal shops/distributors are always the first stop when shopping for metal for me.
Wow! I've never seen it that cheap down here and we get most metals right out of Mexico. Especially the structural stuff like A36. We be gettin' the root! :confused2:

Added:
We're talking about the same stuff here, right? Cold rolled 1008 first run--No seconds?

Here's some 18ga. I used on a speedster body. This has been handled a lot and wiped with metal prep but it comes clean and shiny.
