How would up repair the rust in these places and who/where would have the replacement panels for these sections if any are made? Klassic Fab?

This is the right front inner wheel well:

It was not quite as rusted out as yours but I repaired the same area on one of my old buses. I had the inner and outer rocker, and outer cargo floor section removed, which helped, then I removed the jack support, outrigger, outer end of the U-shaped cargo floor support, and lower wheel well wall. I bought sheet metal and fashioned the lower wall and U-shaped cargo floor support, myself. My buses lower B pillar was good; yours may be bad.
You can get all of the pieces that you need from Klassic Fab.

Your probably going to have to start digging to know exactly what you need. You might be lucky and the B pillars are still decent. How do they look on the outside?

Skim through Nor-Al's thread. I think he documented both sides.
