Floor supports, floors and rockers

So just in the middle of an ls swap on my 65 and the more I look at my front cab floor supports and rest of rot the more I realize how bad an unsafe it is . I picked this truck up in Oklahoma last spring .
Anyways this is what I’m dealing with few pics attached . The front cab mount supports are totally gone an collapsing the rears could be patched in . Needs inner outer rockers , kick panels, floor braces, probably A pillar pieces and floor pans . The drivers side foot area rot goes up quite aways not sure if there’s patch panels for these areas ?
So thought about a complete floor but don’t really want to pull cab so I might just tackle it with cab on frame an lift one side at a time an do The floor braces. I know this is a ton of work I’ve done some floor work on my Chevelle and it wasn’t a lot of fun but now is the time to tackle this before I put me engine etc back in.
Any tips on what to tackle first would be greatly appreciated
This is what I was thinking of doing first
- a pillar patches if needed
- then front floor brace/support complete right to cab mount
- rear cab floor support
- floor pan
- kick panel
- then work back towards rockers
