Thanks!
It depends on what's rusted away. There's an outer cowl panel, an inner-to-outer cowl piece (which I can guarantee you'll need as they're the first thing to rust away), and an inner cowl panel (that might be what you're calling the footwell piece). The inner cowl connects to the A-pillar at the door opening, the floor panel, the toeboard panel and the inner-to-outer cowl panel. Take a look at my pics, this one shows the inner cowl panel from the inside, This shows the inner cowl panel from the outside before the inner-to-outer cowl piece is installed, This shows the inner-to-outer cowl panel in position, and finally, This shows the outer cowl panel in place.

I noticed that on Lumbersawyer's link that LMC doesn't carry the running board seal retainer.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
