Cab patch panels

I need to replace some panels on my cab like a cab mount, corner, rockers. What is the correct order to replace these in? I don't want to just start cutting and mess it all up. I already have the bed off, should I take the front clip off also? Or do I need the fenders on to line up the rockers?

Re: Cab patch panels

You'll need the fenders and doors to help align the rockers. I would do cab supports first, then corners, then the rockers. But you'll probably need to somewhat tack the rockers in when doing the corners at some time to help line everything up. It's the way I plan on doing mine when I start cutting. But I don't need to do my cab supports.
