Personally I would have it all blasted first. BUT- blasting is probably going to run you around $1k. It really doesn't make sense to try and piece old metal back into it if you are stripping it all down. The time and effort it will take to try to reuse metal is just not worth it, except for small patches here and there. Floors are not one of those areas.
I would recommend not using POR if you blast. Use Ospho on severely rusted areas. Then use a HIGH QUALITY epoxy primer followed by your choice of top coat or bed liner, etc. I have been using epoxy from Southern Polyurethanes epoxy with great results.
