The sill is the inner reinforcement for the floor and outer rocker
panel and runs from the firewall back to the rear wheel well. To remove you
must drill out the spotwelds along the top, bottom (floor seam) and rocker
panel from A Post to B post. If your floors and rocker panels are not
rusted, that will be a small miracle. Replacing the latter items is a major
feat
that requires a lot of preparation. If you find that rust is prevalent in
these areas, there is a lot of experience on the list to give you guidance.
