Molded Side Steps

I just picked up a set of Molded side steps for my truck, they came off a 1997 f150, I am going to stick them on my 85 250. The question being is how do they actually mount up? I have the mounts for them on one side but there really rusty, and the other side actually snapped in half. Anyone else ever put them on there trucks? I guess I will fab up some type of non rusted mount.

They are going to fit like CHIT. The 97 F150 had a structural rocker to bolt the fiberglass step to. The 80-96 F series/97 F250-350 had a flimsy piece of tin as a rocker, not suited to bolt a step to. On top of the cab are totally different design
