Floors were more important than a build sheet anyway, spare tire well is cake. Funny, spare well is where most rust out from what I here and mine is solid. Mine has the tilt/telescopic wheel, and a different front seat but they are equipped almost identical, including the rear A/C.

i bet yours doesnt have the hitch from hell or that air ride controler or the ultra cool 8 track lol
floors seem solid..looking under it and such i dont even see any thin spots
and i may have the spot in the rear confused...its a spot on the passenger side that hangs down looks like the spare well from my 58 ford since it has a standing spare..and it looks like the spare layed flat in the wagon?.....so..im not sure what it is that rusted thru

Yup, that's the spot.
No, just the driver's floor in mine. Just a bunch of other PITA issues with dried out, cracked and broken wires. Rust is a very minor issue down here, and if the windshield wasn't leaking in mine, the floor would have been non-issue. I'm sure the leak combined with the carpet and 3 sets of floor mats holding the moisture in, it would be fine. I'm thinking that exhaust is original. I don't know how they work up in y'all's neck of the woods, but down here if the bend up a system they weld it together, and use universal hangers. This is bolted and clamped, and has what look to be original hangers.
I like that hitch! That is a monster! He put airbags on the back of it? What was he towing? I've been looking for a hitch, used or custom are my only options. I'm going to pull around a 5X8 open trailer, mostly to local swap meets and hopefully Carlisle. I think that would be much cooler than driving the Ram.
