Just make sure that when welding the new ones in the metal is grinded clean so you get a good weld penetration.

Well lets see if it was my car and they were too rusty to use I would, get the car up in the air securly, run metal or 2X4's along the center tunnel and outer rockers so the car would not flex or bend. (Both side of the tunnel) measure the old channels off, lip, depth, width, figure just were I wanted them to reconnect to the front and rear suspension rails, and how, probably welding. Then call around and find a sheetmetal fabricator that would be willing to make them, maybe even go one step up on the thickness of the material, probably even go slightly larger so that the new one would just fit over the front and rear mount points. Cut the floor and channel out one side at a time and then weld the new one in. Just make sure that when welding the new ones in the metal is grinded clean so you get a good weld penetration. Brett
