I'm getting ready to tackle the rust in the cab of the Blazer and am wondering in what order to do the following patches - front floor supports, floors, kick panel, inner & outer rockers, and a-pillar. Also, with the top on and the torsion boxes (rocker boxes) being good do I need to brace the cab? The body is on the frame. Thanks in advance.

Just about the way you have it listed in your question....goin to be hard to weld, since the torsion box is in it, youll only be able to weld the top side and cant rust proof the bottom.

Just about everyone braces
