03 Dakota ext cab

[Vimes]

Checked with the shop yesterday. They finally finished the last project that was in front of mine, and will be getting started on my job now. I went down and went over the particulars, and they're going to start getting the stuff together. I have a couple of questions though.

Will 2x3 square tubing suffice? The truck will essentially be a Corvette with a bed and not used for hauling loads. In fact, I'm probably going to be boxing the tailgate in (found a place that makes carbon fiber tailgates) so it doesn't open and will have a bed cover on making the bed into a trunk. And, offroading is not a thing for me. I'm interested in the lighter weight but not at the expense of being durable.



And, does anyone have a source for chromium steel square tubing? So far I'm only finding 1 inch by 2 inch, which obviously won't cut the mustard. I'd like to find a source for 2x3 and 2x4 chromium steel, suitable for use in a frame.
