1$/ lb is normal for prime steel.

i paid 1.34/lb earlier in the year when i bought materials for 2 flatbeds


those prices are pushing $2.61/lb

Who are some flatbed distributors?  Going to see what the cost is for a built unit.  Contacted Wilbri's so far.

Ask Erik. I forget that truck outfit they deal with.

Check marketplace. I’m sure some advertise. I think thruway spring up fits and sells beds. They definitely do plows.
