Sorry to see what you found, but after I found similar stuff and freaked out I've gotten my head around it.

There are panels available for all of that, and if the rockers/sills are OK you "simply" cut out the rot, leave a bit if a lip for the new floor section to sit on, and then weld them in (butt welding everything is a better way to go but is harder from a fit and welding perspective).

So now - do you have a welder and good cutting disk? If not, are you game for learning?

If not, try Craigslist for welders that will travel to you.

How are you feeling about all of this after reading these posts?
