C-Channel Gauge and Dimensions

[P&K]

I need to have some straight sections of c channel made for my ambassador. Anyone know the gauge, type of metal, and dimensions of the c-channel? You know, just off the top of your head. haha!

It is probably 2024-T3 you can get the thickness with some calipers. You may be able to get some off the shelf C-Channel what will be pretty close. There are lots of ready made extrusions out there. You could try mcmaster.com and see what they have. InlandRV should have it as well.

On my '63, the channel is 1.5" wide and the upper facing legs are 1" tall. I bent up new ones out of .032 thk aluminum
