Patrick,

It varies from section to section. The front part is thicker than the side and the bottom of the hull I believe is the thickest part. Some parts of the bottom (especially where the spring hangers bolt through) are reinforced with an extra thickness of sheet metal. I think that the most common sheet steel used on the body is 16 gauge. However, I will check and get back to you and see if I can tell you exactly. The safest way is to measure at places not rusted through and then use that as the basis for repair.

Good luck,

Donovan.
