I did this floor as well. Make sure that you take a lot of reference pics with measurements in them (hold up a tape measure).

I focused the bracing on the door frames since the middle will follow that area. cross brace in all three axis then lay cab on it's back to install the new floor. I drilled out the spot welds in the front and back and reused those holes for the new floor.

My 68 had extra braces under the gas tank that I don't see on yours, they also helped for allignment. i also used a lot of sheet metal screws to initial fitting

Good luck.
