If anyone has any scraps I would love to have them. I have the 1948 F250 and am trying to patch it. Needs to be cold rolled.

Thanks

THATS A TOUGH ONE THERE. GUESS YOU WOULD HAVE TO LOOK CLOSER TO A BIG CITY TO FIND SOME. YOU WOULD THINK THE DALLAS MEMBERS WOULD HAVE SOME INSIDE ON THE 18 G MATERIAL

those 18 gauge will come in handy if we have to fashion a heat shield for my FICM. sorry, jus tinking aloud. i read somewhere tat heat shields are usually between 16 to 20 gauge sheet metal.

Metal Supermarkets in Dallas or Ft Worth should be able to get it for you, they do a lot of small quantity stuff so you should be able to order just a 6x6" piece or whatever you need.... if it's small enough they might just mail it to you themselves. If not, they have a nationwide website you can order small-quantity from.

sorry to hear tat. he's the only guy i know off the top of my head. maybe if u send plumber01 (robert) a pm, he may know some guys around tat might be able to help u out. i'd still talk to nicmike. he's kinda cool dude. he may even head out to help u out. i dunno. god works in mysterious ways.

but robert might have a better idea than i do. best of luck!
