As seen from the pics, the driver side floor panel is really (really) bad and will be replaced, but other than that, most of the flooring was pretty solid. There is significant rust around some joints and seems, which I knew when I bought it, and can reinforce later. So overall I was pleased with the condition, considering what I expected to find.
The passenger seat came out easily (other than some 3o year old bolts that I had trouble convincing to just "let go"... they had a good run, can't blame them for holding on) But the driver seat gave me more fits, and I was pretty dern tired at that point... I'll tackle that one again soon.
Yikes, that's a couple of stomps away from being a Fred Flinstone truck!
Near term goals:
Remove driver seat - get last bit of flooring up
Powerwash truck (interior/bed and underneath where there is lots of caked mud)
Replace air filter casing
Take out Catalytic Converter (pointless w/ smog pump out)
Plug smog pump ports in heads
Change out fluids, including plugging radiator hole with stop-leak (radiator, oil, etc)
Ongoing: continue sanding camo paint off
