Ron,

Most of the skins are made from 6061-T6, but when 6061 was unavailable, the
use of 2024-T3 was very commonly used as a replacement.

Cheers,
Jeff

Is the .040 tank bottom skin 6061-T6 or something else? There are no
visible markings on mine, but they look different than the surrounding
6061.

I believe it is 6061-T6. Not absolutely sure, but I recall they use 2
kinds of AL in Moose/2500, 2024 and 6061. 2024 in sheet form is usually
very shinny and 6061 the duller color.

Thanks, Jeff & Rick. Mine are a bit shinier than surrounding 6061, so it
probably is 2024 as suggested by Jeff.
