Fixing Rusted Bed Rails

Fixing Rusted Bed Rails
Hi Guys
My trucks bed support rails are rusted out where one side has dropped about 2". But the rest of the bed looks ok little to no rust just the rails. Im thinking of going and buying some 2x2 steel tubing and cutting the old supports off and putting this as a replacement. Has anyone done this? or have any better ideas? I think it will be a lot cheaper than buying a non rusted bed.
Thanks

Here is the thread. it is a few years old and seems that the pics have been deleted on Photobucket. I can call Phil to see if he still has the pics somewhere.

If you could that would be great I would like to see the pieces of metal that he had bent up and the finished project.
