I'm trying to find a good deal on a piece of 1/4" or thicker (1/2" or thicker ideally) plate steel. I know C&M sells scrap to the public, any other places I should be looking? I've been doing some searching online but am not finding many places that advertise as selling to the public.

Dencol has sheets of metal and also scrap that they will sell to the public. This is where I bought my steel tubing for my rockers as well as a piece of scrap to to make the end plates. They have a sales office on location and then a couple of different warehouses that they will let you kind of pick through their scraps according to what you are looking for.

K&K Surplus on the NE side. Hit or miss what you'll find, but it's likely you'll come home with something...

Altitude is the cheapest I've found so far.

Sweet, thanks!

What measurements do you need? I have a bunch of pieces of various sizes left over from previous projects

It's flexible. I'm building a welding/fab table. 6'x30" is the plan, but I can go bigger or smaller for a good deal. I also need a bunch of 2x2x1/8" tubing, some 1.75 .120 wall DOM for some add-ons to my cage. and some DOM to build new steering linkage for the FW axles.

Dont have anything that big but above is what I have lying around. If you go to a scrap yard I need a 2x4x20 ft rect struct steel.
