Default FORD Chrome Side Steps

Does anybody know where I can get new brackets for the Factory Side Steps? I broke two of them on a hunting trip. Turns out they cannot hold the wieght of the truck while in forward motion!

I've broken mine too, the cast aluminum brackets require a good tig welder. I've a friend who did it for a bottle of rye.

Since when does aluminum rust? Aluminum is rarely painted because of its corrosion-resistance.

There're a couple pinholes, but payment was in advance.
