If it's the latter, check with a sheet metal supplier. They'll have an assortment of thicknesses. My son had a 75 Ford Maverick and needed floor pan work; we went to the local metal shop and bought a sheet of metal. You can try a popular source for specific make - JCWhitney's, for example - usually find VW body parts, Corvette America for that car; Mac's for almost any Ford - including wood floor boards for the early models. Check out Kanter's, or British-Victoria or Moss Motors for MGs, Austin-Healey's, & Triumpts sources: kanter.com macsautoparts.com corvetteamerica.com jcw.com Victoria-British.com posted:  March 28, 2008   valensage48      mikollection, I was worried about the after market reproduction product metal. For instance, I saw some replacement skin pieces for cut-outs onlne at a parts dealer. I hesitate whether or not to buy the metal without knowing if it will be the same thickness as my original. thanks posted:  March 28, 2008   bigblueford      I have got sheet metal parts from Mill Auto Supply. Quality is good, price is reasonable. www.rustrepair.com posted:  March 30, 2009   valensage48      Thanks fellas. What I have is a 54' GMC 3/4T Panel Truck. From what I've found out the 54 pickup floor panels will not work in the panel truck. And, I cannot find anyone with a 54 floorboard. So it looks like fab work coming up. valensage48 posted:  March 31, 2009
