can cracks and squeeks

Can anyone tell me what gauge steel they used to repair the cab corners @ a pillars?

I am at 153,000 miles and it is definitely noticeable. I think it has deteriorated a lot in the past year.

Most patch panels are 19ish gauge from decent suppliers. Gotta watch LMC, JC Witney, etc a lot of their stuff is closer to 22 gauge. I'm probably going to use 16 gauge for the crack repair on mine. A little harder to work with but much sturdier. If its too much PITA i'll go up to 18/19 gauge.
