The floor boards are fairly simple, just line them up properly and start welding. Move your welds around the panel to stop too much heat from forming at one spot. Stop every once in a while for a beer or smoke to let the welds cool. Just remember that they will be covered once the truck is complete.

When welding the rockers on, make sure you have the doors on and aligned to the cab. Most aftermarket rockers will fit like sh!t, so the biggest thing is to get the gap correct. Making the rocker fit to the pinch weld comes in a very distant second. A good gap would be the same as 3 stacked pennies. Gap is important, but also make sure the rocker doesn't sit to far in or out compared to the door skin.

Also make sure the front, top corner of the rocker is aligned with the front egde of the door. If not you will have trouble fitting your fender.
