I know what you mean Jim.. its a guessing game to some extent.. the front fenders appear to be just over 16 gauge ...sort of in between 16 and 14 gauge.

Having said that .. David P will know more about the rear fenders as he has some originals I think. He may be snowed in at the moment ...

We just had a 2 part TV doco here on the ICE roads in BC and Yukon areas.. they drive huge semi trucks to mining camps over frozen lakes ..some of them have fallen through the ice into the lakes ... scary .
