I would say the rockers first since everything else mounts to them. Then inner rockers, cab supports and cab corners. Be sure to cross brace when removing that much metal and take a lot of measurements and pictures before you start. I would strip down the doors to lighten them and hang them in their openings when you weld in your rockers and cab corners to keep your gaps tight.
There is my opinion, right or wrong,
