It really depends on how much has to be repaired/replaced. Quite a few people have gone with a complete floor pan because there was so much damage.

When we did my '67 the cab mounts were ok, but we replaced the front supports first.

Then we put the doors on so we could align other repairs up. We replaced cab corners first, then the floor patches and finally the inner and outer rockers.

It is a slow process that requires many measurements before cutting and massaging with a hammer during the welding.

Everything turned out real good.
