Re: Got one.

So finally figured out how to fix the rusted away brackets. Didn't want to spend any money and it didn't have to be pretty as they're going under carpet. But they do need to support the carpet so it can't be pushed through and stretched away from other places they're affixed. I used some Fiber glass sheet cut roughly to size, soaked it in flexible marine epoxy resin and hardener (very useful stuff), and then held it in place for 24 hours with clamps over two pieces of paper which of course the epoxy stuck to. Not perfect but they'll last as long as the truck does if not longer.
