Considering that most of the metal on the b bodys is 20 guage, that would be my guess.  I don't own a Superbird, but do own a Charger, and almost everywhere I've found is 20 guage, except for the framerails.

On my car the bracket measures .080 as a painted part.    So that would make it about 14 guage which is .0747
