Rebuild sequence
I'm soon to start restoring my 79' f250 which needs new floor pans, cab mounts inner/outer rockers, front and rear door posts and cab corners.
In what sequence do I replace these in?
Thanks a bunch, guys!

1. Cab mounts
2. Rockers
3. Rear door posts ... then remove the doors
4. Front door posts ... then re-mount the doors
.. finally, the fill-ins consisting of the floor pans and cab corners. The order doesn't matter IMO.
Have fun!

Trim and fit.
... There is no "try". Do. (Isn't that a Yoda-ism?)
I butt-weld. Lap-jointing is a shortcut and unprofessional IMO.

My thoughts exactly and yes, your "Yoda" is correct. I have a saying on my desk in front of me that is the full version. "Do or do not. There is no try."
Now to go and buy more tools . . .
Thanks for the counsel.
