F1 Bed Help

Hey guys I am about to rebuild a bed for my 51. What gauge is the bed side? Who has the best selection and price for sheet metal etc. Whatever advice or guidance you provide would be greatly appreciated.

I am rebuilding the bed. I took the fender off and found some rust issues where the fenders attach to the bed sides. Plan to buy new wood and bed strips etc. All new hardware also..
