Max, the floor and other panels will likely be the same gauge on most types of body. Note that the floor sheets fold up about an inch along the sides. This was pretty common on the various bodies too. Around here it's easy to find a shop with a 20 foot wide metal shear and break. On a lot of the bodies the floor panel is two pieces joined down the centre but in the pix it looks like this one is one piece.
I came up with these dimensions with my AutoSketch program. The only measurement I had was the 201 inch length so I cropped the pic at the front bumper and rear of box then did measurements on my work page until I had 201". Next I inserted the picture inside those measurement lines and presto! Now with the dimension tool I could just click on any two points and it puts in the measurements. Kind of neat! I'll do the front and rear views too. In the real world the measurements would be in 1/4 or 1/2 inch multiples instead of decimals like I ended up with.
