IIRC, they were either 1/4" or 5/16". Might even be 3/8".
My original radiator support had some pieces of 1/2" thick steel welded along the bottom and inside the channel to just around the lower corners (pic). I believe it was the earlier style that didn't have the cross bracing rods. The extra steel that a PO welded on attests to the need for the cross-bracing. I picked up a better radiator support from Jim Carter's bone pile.
