Sounds like you are cutting up a pretty good cab to fix yours. You would be better off buying the new replacements since they are only around $10 to $20 apiece. If you do overlap them make sure you cut out the old rust and have at least 1.5" of overlap. Getting the entire front support out of the c channel is a mother, but it can be done.
