What to do? Roof or Rockers First

My 72 has some bad rust in the roof and rockers. Cab corners are ok though (sorry no digi camera yet for pics) I need to cut the whole roof off and replace it with the rust free one. the rain gutters are rusted all the through to the inside of the cab. The rockers are pretty bad too. I don't want to replace the cab, I like the challenge.My question is do I do the roof first or the rockers. I know I have to brace the cab for the roof.I've chopped tops before, But in this case I'm concerned about the integrity of the whole cab shifting or moving after I make some cuts. Because of the severity of the rust.Any thoughts?
