Cross brace frame

Hi I'm wondering how worried I have to be about the tubular brace mounting points being rusted off on the bottom at the C channel frame it's the one that goes across by the rear of the cab area?

Post a picture if possible. I would have a new brace welded in. If it is there from the factory then it does serve a purpose.

those rust holes go right through don't they? and looks like there's more further down the frame rail .....

That is an unfortunate looking frame. I wouldn't want to get in a wreck in the that truck.

it's actually just a plate that's welded to the c channel frame for the round pipe that goes across
