I have a 72c20 that has bad floor pans including rust down through the 4th door floor. It will need rockers.

I am thinking to cut out good parts on 67 and use them in the 72.

Both Suburbans have the doors off. How would you guys start this project?
Or do I sell these and get a good body?

I depends on how much experience you have at doing this type of work. I wouldn't recommend a project like this for someone that is inexperienced at cutting, chopping, fitting and welding. You are talking some pretty extensive work. If you do decide to proceed with the body on the frame, I would put new body mounts under it and criss-cross brace the body and door openings with 3/4" thin wall conduit first.
