In my humble opinion flux throws off too much heat for sheet metal. Lots of holes burned through the panels

Elf has a really good point - when you cut out the rockers or any other major load bearing section of a truck make sure you tack in some square tube or angle bracket before cutting to make sure your cab doesn't flex and screw up the door gaps.
