Does anyone know the going rate on 20 feet of 4" channel?
The best I'm finding here is about $55.00, is that about right?

Still can't get a decent answer for diamond plate.

I think we pay about $25 or so at work. But we order steel once a year in a 40 ton or so quantity. The more bought, the cheaper it is.

Looking for a CD by  'The Sub-Mersians'  entitled "Raw Love Songs From My Garage To Your Bedroom"

Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

The price of steel should be between $ .30 - $ .40 per pound. Also depends on what channel section you are buying (MC or C). Let's say a C 4 X 7.25 weigh's 7.25 lbs per foot x 20' = 145 lbs x let's say $ .35/lbs = $ 50.75 +/-.

Old MoPars in salvage yards are finding their way to the crushers because the price of scrap is going up!

I know this was a bit off the subject, but when I read the topic, I just had to opine.
