my only concern is that if everything that you have mentioned is already cut out then I'm worried that your cab might have spread out a bit. I would square your cab first, then my thoughts would be floor pans, trans cover, rockers, then door post. But i'm sure someone who has been this indepth on one will chime in on the most logical process.

Hmmm!, It looks like some assembly is required!

I would start with the pillar post repair as the inner rocker and outer rocker attaches to it. Attached is a schematic of the the pillar post and rockers.

You will want to use the door for checking clearances.

I agree, Start where its important, around the doors. The middle will kinda take care of its self.
