So now I know all I have to do is cut out that floor section, drill out the spot welds and cut a matching patch out of my donor truck, weld it back in and I'll be good to go. It looks much easier than i thought, but thanks to all for your help.
Yep I learned alot about how the cab is spot welded together when I did all my repairs. After I welded all my new pieces in I brushed seam sealer under the bottom of the floor to keep and water out of my welded seam. I then painted with zero rust.
