I have an rugby dump kit installed in my old girl. On the underside of the bed the "crossbars" are rusting out. They are still solid in most places but like the old saying the weakest link...

I'm a total newbie and about to buy my first welder. How should I go about repairing these? I could weld in braces I guess. The bed gets used and I loaded up with about 12 squares worth of shingles last year and she didn't bust.

Does anyone sell replacement bars?
