If I take the truck, it costs me about $7 for a 36 mile round trip,

I'll be checking Lowe's to see what they carry.

I never spent a lot of time in Virginia but I have to believe you have

Maybe not. Where I used to buy used steel for my projects is mostly new
steel now. They said, most of the old manufacturing and machine shops are
now housing. Not a lot of heavy manufacturing around here anymore. Used
to have a couple bearing supply houses within 5 miles. Now zero.
