ok this should be a fairly common issue , yet no-one seems to have given a straight answer yet.

on an m35 what gauge sheet metal should be used to make patch panels for the cab specifically for the back plate , and cab corners?

Thanks for the link! I assume they fit well? 18gauge?

I'm in need of a pair of rockers, and those should save a ton of effort.

For anyone searching for information on the replacement rocker panels:

I contacted Memphis about them, and received this reply:
The G744ZP will fit your M35A2. The rocker panel we stock was made from a original sample so there should be no problem for it to work on your M35A2.

And just in case you still would like to be certain, I measured one of the ones I bought. They are 38" long.

And since the battery in my digital caliper is dead, I had to eyeball the thickness with a ruler. I came up with ~3/64" (0.046875), which means they are 18 gauge (0.0478")
