The body mount caged nut (the one under your left foot) on my 79 el camino is stripped. However, I can reach a regular nut onto the bolt. (on top of the stripped one) I hate to half *ss any thing on this resto mod, but the alternative is cutting the mount box apart to replace it. your thoughts?

Knock the bad cage nut out of there with a hammer and a chisel, and then just use a new nut to put it back together.
You're lucky it's accessible. Cutting up the floors would suck...

You might want to weld the new nut in while you're there. Then use anti-sieze on the threads. I'm sure you never expect to touch it again but you never know.
