The single piece of front floor-board from the factory does not have to be made in one piece.
I do not have pictures, but I have made that part in three pieces, left, center and right side. If you are able, you might be able to cut off the rusted rag and replace that part, ONLY.
I have a pending 1953 "R" crewcab that will be having much more floor modification than you are facing. The crewcab does not have a rust problem. My situation is of my own making. I am converting a three door cab into a four door. I am using an original IHC floor stamping, I will be cutting and modifying.
I think you are well on your way to a great build. It takes time and some money. Don't buy a cheap welder. I recommend a MILLER 140 wire feed for sheetmetal. My friend sold his 140 on Craigslist. Make sure you are able to test the welder before laying down the cash. The guy who did the body and paint on my Ford used a Miller 140 he bought off a tool truck. His 140 is red and twice the cost of blue.
