I'd cut it about a inch below the body line if I were doing it

If you have a complete rocker, replace it all.Rust starts from the inside, so chances are there is more rust just waiting to pop through.

have complete ones so be easier then cutting them all apart

X2 also get a flange step tool,and flange the two pieces so it fits flush for welding,and only weld a little at a time so it dont warp

You mean fill it with fiberglass filler? You would be Wasting your time, and won't last 6 months

Read the first few pages of this and it should help you. I don't do body work so this is my first time. I did a ton of reading and had a few guys on here as well as local that gave me tips on how to do it. I'd see if you can find the front fenders since it will be easier just to replace them.
