Re: door skin thickness

18, Ga. .0478 Carbon steel is what would be used as the norm for our trucks today to repair damage our rust .

But you asked what is the Gauge of your stock GM door skin , if its a original Gm door skin it would be 19 ga. .0418 carbon steel .

Gm used a basterd thickness of 19 gauge witch would be very hard to find these days ,So 18 ga. is the choice by most .
