The pics of the plug welds are not mine. They are google images.

I appreciate the knowledge and dont feel attacked, so no worries. The floorpan was replaced after the rockers. As for the A pillar, i dont believe it needed replacing, but im bringing the cab and frame home today to start test fitting my LS so i'll see it then.

Curious why the order of replacement matters?

The truck is put together from the inside out. It only makes sense to work from the inside out when replaceing panels. The floor pan section (which includes part of the inner rocker) is sandwiched between the cab support and the A post then the outer rocker. Hope this helps.
