What guage metal for front frame rails?

Anybody know what guage metal was used from the factory for the front frame rails?  I need to do some patching.

I'm interested in this too, I have a few small holes to patchin the frame. And if anyone additionally knows firewall gauge thickness.....Got a bunch of holes there to patch (I'm guessing 18 gauge?)

im thinking 16 for the frame rails, and probably 18 for the firewall.

If you have a way to measure this chart might help you figure out what you need.

I found that Auto Rust Technicians advertises all of their replacement subframe peices as 13 gauge.
