Allen,
before you do this, I would make sure thet the floorboards do not flex.
If the do, the fiberglass might break away from the metal and by the
capillary effect (moisture gets sucked into small cracks) you will get
major rusting.
If the floorboards are structurally sound, I would use a 4" grinder with a
twisted wire brush attachment to get rid of as much rust as possible.
Then you could use some POR-15. This will add *some* strength to them.
