Yep, ya need to definitely fix that cab mount. IIRC, repros are available. A hard jolt might even collapse the mount. In terms of the other cancer, ya might as well do it right and replace/patch the pans with new metal.
But there may be more... I suggest peeling back the carpet or floormat for a closer inspection. Lastly, check the fresh air bowls located on each side of the cowl. Prolonged exposure to the leaves and debris collected in there can overflow the vents and leak onto the floor and eventually rot it out... ask me how i know! Mine were packed with pine needles, leaves, and... mulch!.. 'Took forever to clean it out.

Right now, the LF fender is holding the front of the cab up. That mount is not doing a thing. You can buy replacements, along with floorboard panels. The rear cab area is not available to my recollection.
Look at the fender gap at the back by the door and cowl. Likely it's all jacket out of shape.
