Smell is a whole "nother" ball game.
The carpet padding is a musty place often and who knows what lurks in the interstices from years of accumulation.
That pile of cotton falling out is suspect of vermin activity unless the burlap collapsed. I've seen nesting in headliners too.
After a little consulting with some upholstery experts, this is my current plan.
Headliner-leave alone
Door panels-gentle cleaning
Seats-replace fabric & foam and use a ozone generator to get rid of any smell in the cotton & burlap. A bit of rust to take care of on a couple of the frames as well.
Floor-Replace original "tar paper" with sound deadener, replace carpet padding and replace carpet.
This should get the interior in pretty good shape and up to the task for a driver.
