Gauge of original flareside box

What gauge were the flareside boxes in 53-56? 14? 16?

I want to buy another box. Mid-West Early Ford in Springfield, OH has just the side panels and front panels for $600. That is what I need. Everything else in my bed is good. It sounds like a great deal, but I want to call them and see what gauge their bed panels are to make sure it is a good bargain. To save shipping they said they can take it to Spring Carlisle and I can pick it up there this April.

Thanks!

Do you think I can find the 2 bedsides and front panel at Carlisle for just $600?

Hmmm, maybe I will call Hot Rod's. I have bought a lot of stuff from rod before. Maybe he can beat his Ohio competitor in price.
