Suburban rear door jamb rust fix

I was wondering what is the best way to repair the upper door jams on the suburban model I have a donor truck but I have to cut parts myself and I'm not to sure on how I would cut this section out or are there alternatives to fix this area

Yikes. I'd be finding me a new truck. That's the worst possible area to repair

But it can't be impossible like I said I have a solid donor I can cut on would that even matter and I'm working with a very competent body shop

No, it's not impossible. But the problem is there's multiple layers of metal right there. There's the inner C-pillar structure, the door surround, the quarter panel and then the roof skin. If I were going to attempt it, I would cut the parts truck right behind the B-pillar and halfway down the quarter, all the way to the middle of the truck. That way you have plenty to work with in case you find more rust (and you will) underneath. But that is going to be a nightmarish repair.
