Rusted out backing plates

Does anyone know of a good solution for replacing the backing plates for the parking brake. I noticed a grinding noise coming from the rear wheels and when I removed my rotors parts and pieces of springs and clips fell out and the plates were just metal flakes. This is for a 03 F350.

Sweet

Thanks for the info. It will sure save me several hundo in labor. Is pulling the axle's a difficult job? I am not a mechanic but I do most of my own wrench turning.
