I had some rusted-out places in the floor braces of my 72 bed. I just cut out the bad areas and welded in pieces I cut from another bed. I undercoated the whole floor and the repairs I made. Unless you really look close, you'll never see them.

if just the beams are bad cut them off, and take square tubing the same size (height) and weld it under there. then drill holes for the bolts..
