71 Burb wood tear-out

Hey fellas...stepping out to the deep end and pulling my 71 k10 burb off the frame. I have questions about replacing the wood. Once it's off the frame and on a body dolly cart, what is the process of replacing the wood? Do I need to brace any of the body, etc? Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I recently did it and it wasn't that bad. Try to not cut up plywood as you can use it as a template for new piece. I used 2 4x8 pieces of 3/4 Marine plywood and splined it together. Layed old one on top and traced it. Check out my rust repair thread for pics
