What gauge steel for bucket seats?
I picked up these nasty old Buddy Buckets for my truck. Was planning to replace foam and cover with leather.
 After tearing the foam off, I found the frames rusted way beyond repair...crumbling apart.  They look to be a simple design, so I'm thinkin about just making a new set with some sheet metal to look like these:  Seems like a good project for my welder and metal brake. What gauge steel would you guys use? They are gonna be simple non-reclining seats. Unless I can figure out a simple design for the hinge. Any advice appreciated.

I got busy buying a house so haven't done a thing with the seat frames. Was hoping to get some recommendations, but I'm thinking 14 gauge will be strong enough.
