So why didn't you get the ones in the junkyards? You should be able to use a crossmember from any '80-96 F-series or Bronco, depending on exactly which crossmember you need.

The yard guys shouldn't mind forklifting one for you, and even carrying it up to the building so you can plug in your grinder to cut the rivets off.

HEY!! Run down to your local Home Depot or other good hardware store and pick up a couple of sections of angle iron. Cut to length and have someone weld them in for you. They are pretty thick and if you use the rubberized undercoating, you'll never have to worry about it any more.
