    Source for odd size steel tube

    I need two- 2 foot pieces (18" would work too) of rectangle steel tubing that are 1 3/4" x 2 3/4" to fit inside some 2x3 rectangle tube. Striking out online! It can be 1/8 wall, 3/16, or 1/4 not critical at all. Is this even a thing, or will I need to cut and weld some tubing down?
