Rocker Panels

Anyone know what gauge the rocker panels are?
Going to fix mine but need to get he right metal first. Since they are used to enter/exit the truck if you dont have step/nerf bars I need to make sure they are thick enouph. I was thinking of using 16G...Obviously using 20-26 is a lot cheaper, but it just seems like putting weight on it would bend that right up.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I priced them at LMC (only place I found replacement panels) and they were 125 a piece.

I'm still debating rather to purchase them or do them myself. Looking at them there really isn't much to forming them except by the door jame between the front and rear door.

16 guage is a little overkill. 18 is plenty. 20 would work just fine. 16 can be hard to shape if you don't have the right tools, and benders.
