You might want to take a close look at the floor pan supports, there about four inches wide and go from rocker panel to rocker panel.
If you have the carpeting out, look at the spot welds very carefully, it will look like its raised a little bit between the welds, My floors looked good, but after I got to digging around, I found rust in some areas up to 3/16'' of an inch deep between the support and the floor pan.
Also take a close look under the car, with a good light, get the side of your head next to the edge of the support and floor pan.
Get an ice pick or awl, or something sharp and pointed. If you have rust, you will see some small amount of buildup right on the outside edge, if you pick at it a little, its hard and almost shiny mlike metal, but thats rust.
It might only be a 1/16'' of an inch thick from looking at the edge of it.
Thats what I noticed on mine, but you will find it is a lot thicker rust inside.
I will post a picture of the sandblasted pans, and you can see how deceiving this can be, these pans were loaded with rust.
Theres three supports on a 69, and I'm sure your 68 has the same thing.
The third support back, under the back seat, on the outside edge inside the car about six inches from the inside edge of the body, that was the worst, but all of the supports had rust.
I'll get a picture up I took a couple of weeks ago, you would not believe the rust that I found under these supports.
Not trying to discourage you, just trying to help you out in your evaluation.
