Question Floorboard metal thickness?

I need to know the thickness of the metal used in the cab mounts on a unibody truck, mine have rotted away. Also, is the floorboard thickness the same. What is the best type of steel to use for this?

Thanks-
Dane

should be the same. 16 gauge should be thick enough al long as your supports are good

I used 16 gauge hardened stainless in my floor reconstruction. Bye-bye rust for good.
