I need a source for 2" hitch receivers in bare steel. Any ideas? Local supplier doesn't have any, and buying the material is out because I only need three right now. |

I don't know excatly what you are saying you want but I used to work at a travel trailer dealership and there was a GIANT pile of old class III hitches out back in the yard. |

You may want to check a local farm store like country general or Big R, If you are hard up a local hitch shop should have some but they tend to charge about twice what you would pay else where. |

Greg,
You might want to check with any metal fabricating shop in your area. The local one I deal with has them in bare steel for sale, but I don't know how much they sell them for.

Any steel shop will sell you some square 2" bar. Figure about 50 cents a pound. |

Thanks guys. The material has to be seamless, or the hitch won't fit into the receiver. Cost for 24'(min length) is about $120 locally, and I need three receivers, sop that's not an economical choice. I found some at my local Northern Tools. They were powder coated, but I had them sandblasted. Thanks for all of your input though. |
