Replacing rocker panels

Very new here. Was looking to know what goes into replacing the rocker panels on a 91 GVR4. Rockers are rotted right up to the pinch welds, but further in is solid. I would probably have to cut just inside of the pinch welds. With that being said, two questions...

Does anyone make direct replacements for something like this or will it have to all be fabricated? I tried looking online and this site already but any links are over a decade old and dead. I was also told by someone to keep an eye out for any part outs, but seems like rocker rust is very common (I live in the rust belt).

If this will all have to be custom work, is there somewhere I can find a detailed blueprint to follow? This will be the first time doing any fabricating or body work, and I want to make sure I do this right, and the trim will all still fit well. I tried looking around and I can't find any pictures or explanations of the dimensions.

Any help would be much appreciated.
