I need to replace it and am a little shy about buying a new one for 400+ clams not including shipping via truck freight. What gauge was it? I will be using it as a parts hauler/push truck I will need it to be fairly tough. Any suggestions???

That should be very close to the original corregated steel bottom. Of course you could always use diamond plate alluminum for a more custom look.
