Bed supports
I'm afraid of my truck bed falling off the beams have been rusted heavily to the point of the truck bed bouncing at every big bump of the road. 
I don't want to junk my truck. Is there an easy way to replace them? Or is it possible the dealership sells that type of part? (not that I would want to go there for their outrageous prices) I was thinking of buying some steel and bolting or welding it on. My truck's pretty rusty under but its mostly the bed supports that are going. I'd like to bring it to a shop but I could bet it'll cost thousands. or Hudreds. Any suggestions? Or HOW TO, DIY links/vids?
I have a 97' F 250 5.4L truck 4x4

The dealer will only sell you a bed floor with the supports or a complete bed. I have seen a few sellers offer the supports for Super Duty trucks, but never a light duty like yours. Honestly, it is cheaper to replace the entire bed. Go find a rust free bed and slap it on there, it is what I did. The bedsides and bed floor have got to be rusty on that truck as well.
