Picked up a cab, now what.

So my cab on my 71 is really rough, needs a lot of metal work. It's nothing that can't be fixed though, after probably 300 hours of my body work but if I had a big home shop with room to work on things and then walk away for a week I'd tackle this one but at the moment I don't. But I digress, I picked up a cab this weekend that only needs rockers, a small floor patch at the drivers footwell and the two front cab mounts. Much more manageable for me and will tremendously help get this project back on track. So my real two questions are, what order should I do these repairs in, and where should I pick up those patches from. I've heard gmc Paul's is awesome, but then read keystone rockers fit the best..soo what do y'all think. None of these patches are super expensive so paying 20 bucks for a cab support vs 12 bucks for one isn't a big deal obviously. I'll post pics tomorrow so y'all can see what I'm working with. I also plan to have the cab blasted first, I'm a mechanic by trade and my brother builds custom cars and manages a local hot rod shop(not the body shop side though) so none of this is a question of ability on our part, just looking for some advice from the guys that have done it. Thanks so much in advance.
