I don't know for a fact but I think the floor is 18 ga. I made a new center
section out of 16 ga and I recall it was heavier than the rest of the floor.
Even if it was 18 ga originally it won't hurt to use 16 ga.

Subject: [oletrucks] Floor panel thickness
Does anyone know the guage of metal used for the floor and toeboard on a AD
truck?
Most of the body metal is 18 guage, but the floor may be 16. Mine is so
rusted I cant get a good measurement.
I'm toying with the idea of making my own floor panels.
TIA
