Re: Body work experts, how would you deal with this?

Take both doors off.
Take measurements, front to back and roof to floor of B pillar, mark measuring points and dimensions in sharpie on the truck.
Cut the spotwelds on front and rear rocker panels of truck and donor part to dissect.
The inner part bolts on with the 2 bolts going upward.
The lower B pillar also bolts on, problem is i think its also spot welded.

I would separate the inner trim/skin from the outer on the donor (separating them makes it easier to get a nice tight fit on each side for welding.)
Install the outer B pillar first then install the inner.
Just cut each wherever the rust stops, probably well below the lower hinge.

The floor surely needs outer floors so do that while the B pillar is cut out.
Truck outer floors are very similar, use one on the front and one on the rear door. Splice together under the B pillar.

Thats how i did it on my crew cab.....
