Vacuum all the loose crap up, then use rust converter but that almost looks like a channel replacement is needed.

Once you have rust converted it then you should just put some red oxide on it and she should be good.

Just dont forget that this part of the car is pretty much a major part, its what gives rigidity to the shell, it is also the part that really holds the body to the floor pan.
