OK got the interior pulled out. Now my first question is trying to determine which patch panels I need. Using LMC Truck as my reference, https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-87-chevy-gmc/body-panels/cc-1973-87-steel-cab-repair-panels to fix what you can see in my attached pictures do i need the following? 2 or 4, 9 or 10 or 11? I don't have a good picture under the weather seal but it is rusted pretty good on the passenger side, and if I am cutting and welding i will replace the while rocker since there are a few small holes.

Will do both side but using left for reference
2 - CAB FLOOR HALF-LH REPLACE or 4 - CAB FLOOR HALF-DROP IN-LH (I think 2)
9 - Inner Rocker
10 - INR ROCKER PANL-EXTENDED-LH
11 -INNER ROCKER PANEL-FULL-LH

Seems like if Full Rocker it give me the most flexibility.

So I should just need 2 and 11? to be safe? I might go full floor for the passenger side once i get the metal cleaned up a bit more from where the AC must of dripped.

For one I wouldn't buy from LMC cheap Chinese crap panels you have to work a **** load to fit properly. Auto Metal Direct is who I get my panels from, thicker metal fit almost perfect. Yes you'll need floor pans, kick panels, inner and outer rockers. How do your braces look?

Besides the floors truck looks good. Hell of a deal for 650. Welcome from East Texas

The braces look great from underneath.

That could be AC dripping but the cowl seam seals fail ofen on these and from the cowl it will seem down the inside of that firewall. Look in the cowl and see what it looks like.
