This may be a stupid question and I really don't want to thread jack all this bad a$s work, but what gauge sheet metal are you using for the cab floor and Bed floor of your truck.

I am still new to custom fabrication

I use 16gauge. Its thick and I like using it holds a bend alot better than thinner metal. And I can weld a little faster without worring about warpage. Only thing is a 4x8 sheet is about 100 bucks right now. Ive got about a sheet worth in just my floor. And about two sheets in the bed. starts adding up.

Everything on the core support is custom. even the mounts. Lots of measureing though.
