Im looking to make a brush guard similar to the one on the CUCV. From the pictures I have seen, it appears pretty hefty, almost 1/4" thick. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

1/4" would be correct.

If building one from scratch, why not make it better? If I was building one, my mind would be telling me to use 5/16" or 3/8" steel. It will take more heat to do it, but certainly possible.

I probably will use 5/16 and some 3/8 tubing on the front in place of the angle is and 1/2" flat bar for the 2 main "posts" and mounts. Would happen to know the dimensions for the brush guard? Going to make a bed topper as well
