47-53 Frame Gauge Thickness

[duwem]

Anyone know what guage the frame rails are approximately?

Need to get some sheet to fill in some holes and want to match it as close as I can.

Thanks

my handy dandy sheet metal gauge says 10ga.

That is what I was thinking, thought I measured about .13" thick.

Of course it varries where you measure since it was stamped out of a flat sheet so it stretched differently, but just want something close.

Thanks!

Yeah, i didn't measure it I used one of those round sheet metal/ wire gauges.
I need to get some of the same to box the rear for my suspension swap.

I checked it at the back in the center of the channel so it should bw as close as I can get.
