They look like the ones from the Bronco Graveyard. Maybe they get them from this same guy? 18 ga is .0478 thick, which is pretty good. I don't know if the stock sheet metal was thicker? Doubt it.

Been busy last few days so not too much time to work on it.
Been a few busy days but finally got to do a little more tonight. I've built up a good base on most all of the floor and got the first coat in the doors. Took it out for a quick test drive and it seems to be about the same without the carpet as it was before with the carpet. I think by the time it's done and new carpet put in, it should be pretty nice. So now I have to get the driver's side floor replaced then start to finish everything up. Oh, and It's definitely going to take the 2nd gallon to do it right.
That looks great! Foam brush or bristle?
Fuzzy roller. I like the look alot.
Heus, still brushing. Don't think I'm going to spray until the floor board gets taken care of. Took it by AutoFab today to get it looked at. Looks like the support underneath is also shot. And thanks to the PO who added (welded on) rock rails then rolled the kick panels over them, it's going to be a whole just to get the body mount out of there. So looks like I'm going to be dropping it off with them for a few days to pull off the rails, add bolt plates to them and replace the floor, support and all the body mounts. Big pain but I want to get it done right. Hopefully I'll be dropping the truck off with them next week.
Prosys, not much new really to show but here's a couple for you. It really is an improvement all ready. First time driving today on the highway since i started and even without the carpet... sounded better! Most of the little creaks and clacks are gone now. Just need the last coats I'm going to spray on to help isolate from the road noise.
I like the look of the roller but I have put 6 coats on that passenger floor pan and it's just now getting to be close to the right thickness. I really think spraying is going to be the way to go to most easily build up the propper coverage. I have to get the top off and pull the roll cage so I can get the truck over to autofab. When I do that, I'll be spraying the inside of the top. Will let you guys know how it goes.
Prosys, I spend all my beer money on Bronco parts so that's just a Mt Dew!
I'm going to start mine tomorrow. At first I was going to roll, then I convinced myself to spray and then looking at your recent results I was back to rolling but now you're saying I should spray.... oh man!
I like the idea of the roller - easier to use and less cleanup but I dont want to have to do 6 coats either. Decisions decisions!!
