Not sure of the right name of the item. I'm basically looking for square tubing with a slot down one side that would allow me to bolt things onto it with washers and nuts anywhere along the length of the tubing. I found some pics that are basically what I'm looking for,  but not quite. Secondary to that, does anyone know if the place we usually get the 20/80 pieces from also have what I'm looking for? That is in advance!

80/ 20 also makes a single slot extrusion in most of their series.

This is exactly what I am looking for. I'll look into the name I see on the listing, but if you know any other names these would be sold under, finding out would be phenomenal! Thank you!

T-slot is generic,  rockier, woodcraft all sell there versions.  Sure you get it cheaper on line, but they have it store if you need it in a hurry

You’ll also find strut channel in stock at the big box hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards).

It kind of depends on what you're looking for, they'res a lot of varients of the basic formula.  The most commonly encountered varient of the item would be "UNISTRUT", which is kind of an industry standard.  Here's a pretty complete catalog:  https://connective-systems.com/userfiles/977/MEP-Catalogs/Unistrut-Full-Catalog.pdf  There's also this if you're looking for a smaller-scale thing: https://www.makerbeam.com/  (as well as the usual 80/20, if you can afford it)
