Default Body panels for patching floorboards

Was wondering what everyone thought about using body panels so redo floor boards. Have got access to a roof off a mid 80s suburban that was cut up in a jaws of life drill. I am thinking that it is probly thicker than stock floor pans and it has beads rolled in it already that would add strength to the cargo area.

I used part of an 80's Suburban door to patch the floor in my 99. The Suburban is actualy better quality material than the xj.

A sheet of 16 gauge cold rolled steel isn't too expensive.

It really depends on how bad the floors are.
