72 Jimmy rust repairs

Hello everyone,

I'm getting ready to repair the floor and rockers of my 72 Jimmy. So far I think I'll need:
  • Outer rocker panels
  • Outer cab floor (about 4" in from face)
  • Inner rocker panel
  • Rocker boxes
  • Front cab supports
  • A pillar lower sections (about 12" up)
  • Kick panels
  • Lower bed section (just behind doors)

There are some small issues further in on the floor but it will be much cheaper to make the repair sections myself instead of buying the whole floor.

As far as I can tell, the rear rocker box closing panels look ok. They will be removed, cleaned, inspected, repainted and reinstalled. Do these usually need to be replaced?

Here is some pictures of the floor and underside of the body: Google drive

Anything else I should know? Am I missing any parts in the list?

Thanks!
