    I would think Lowes or Sears would have it.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Where have you looked? Have pics of the outlet the socket fits into?

    I have tried TSC, Lowes, and Home Depot. I have tried a dozen or so websites. It fits into a regular 3 prong appliance outlet (like the one in the bed of our Tacoma's). I hope to use it for welding horse shoes.

    That isn't the rating of the amp load. There should be a sticker on the welder that specifies the amp load.

    A 100 amp load would require a disconnect.

    No problem. The above underlined is what you need to look for in a plug. A 30 amp 220v plug will be just fine. Does ithe receptacle look like the kind you would buy for a stove or dryer?

    No, I am going to use it in the shop. I wouldn't have the nerve to plug it into the truck. Might hurt her.
