firewall replacement and other panels

I have 1955-59 and need to replace the firewall/toeboard and both step/rockers both inner and outer rear corners. left lower inner and outer hinge pockets. ? would you recommend changing one piece at a time of is there enough support for the cab to not flex with the firewall and step/rockers cut out at the spot welds?

Re: firewall replacement and other panels

Personally I would do one at a time and weld in some temporary support pieces just to keep things from moving.

You will need to do some bracing, side to side and front door pillar to rear door pillar. Make sure you leave room to work.

I would do the firewall first. then steps and pillar pockets, then corners
