Thanks, i'll try my best.

I didn't want to weld on a 87 degree summer day, but I wanted to finish the truck even more, so I pulled out the fan and a couple water bottles and got to work.
I know it isn't pretty, but I figured it's pretty good considering I was basically sitting in the cab with my head between my knees.

I got that bar of stock for about $13. I got pretty lucky considering it fit perfectly in the slot right there. The original support was starting to deteriorate, and I figure the cab mount was apart pop straight up through the floor. When I was cutting the floor out, I found out I was right, the whole thing fell apart in my hands.

I cut it long enough for it to reach the door jamb, and I welded it to the bottom of the door hinge mount. I think that should be a solid anchor point.

What did you guys do to support your floors?
