Default help! more rust

so today i sat down with my lmc truck book getting ready to order my rocker panels and cab corners for my 97 150 regular cab. when i crawled underneath it i realized i have a few more problems. it seems that the rear cab supports and bed supports have rusted out as well. have any of you changed these? does ford sell them? aftermarket? pardon me if this question has been asked before as i am new to the site. thanks everyone for any input.

Are you a body man? The only reason I ask is that replacing cab mounts, rockers, and cab corners is not for the squeamish. It sounds like your cab is pretty well gone. I have restored a few old Fords (Mustang and my current car a 62 Galaxie). Sometimes you would be better off finding a good rust free cab, paint it and install it on your frame. The fact that you found more damage when to took a second look indicates that once you start cutting out the bad spots you are going to find more. It may be cheaper to find a complete cab. JMO
