My reccomendation is this:
Any GOOD welder can fix this problem, essentially, all you really have to do is cut away the bad metal, grind down the surfaces, and weld in new metal. make sure the welder will contact ford about the type of steel used for the frame rail, and also, make sure the welder is certified. depending on the condition of the car, you could probably get a welder to do it for a few hundred bucks, and cost of the materials.

I spoke with a guy at the frame shop and he is going to take a look at it.
