No one makes any repair/replacement panels that I know of. Your best bet is to get some 22 gauge sheet metal and weld in your own panels.
Take the time to do the prep work, cut out the rusted areas, and mig-weld new panels in place. After that, I'd coat the new panels with POR-15, or Durabak, to keep the problem from happening again.Jeep Grounds

22 guage seems a little thin but proably easier to work with. I had the cab off my J20 so it was easy for me to bolt on 1/8 aluminum over the holes using small bolts. I then coated it all over with fibered roof coating. Turned out real nice.Comment

I plan on having my cab off also and was planning on sandblasting the entire cab inside and out. I have a mig welder and was thinking more along the 16 guage size. Is that too thick for floorpans??DON <br /><a href=\"http://www.Gladi8r.com\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Website</b></a><br /><br />1988 GW 360<br />Edelbrock Intake & 1406<br />TF727/Dana 300<br /><br />1971 J-4500,Rhino Grille<br />A work in progress<br />Soon to be:<br />500 Caddy |Th400 | 205<br />DANA 44/60 (3:73)<br /><br /><b>\"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little<br />temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.\" </b> Ben FranklinComment

16 gauge will work very well. I have used 18 gauge, but I like 16 better. It's a little harder to form up, but sturdier.Comment

The best material for Jeep floor pans is old chevy hoods. They are cheap and easy to find.65 wag. with a bunch of stuff done and more happening.<br /><br />\"If the local junkyard calls you for Jeep parts, you might be a redneck\".... and yes they do!Comment

I've been cutting rust from my wifes GW floors and rockers. I took a piece of the floor to the local metal shop and he mic'ed it out as being 16 gauge. It's a bit tough to shape, hard on cut-off blades, but it's solid.
