If you are not too worried about looks, just get some sheet metal, cut out the rusted areas, and either
weld/rivet in place. Seam seal the areas and undercoat.
I have the same issues. I am going with the sheet metal route.

Mine wasn't bad, I grinded and cut the rust out, then welded homemade patch panels, then used eastwood rust preventor and undercoat. No probs 2 years later
