I would take a shop vac and suck as much crud out of the frame rail as I could. In BOTH directions. Then knock out the rest of the rust with a pick hammer. Then blow the frame rail out with an air hose. This will give you an idea of how much needs to be replaced. Using a cutoff wheel, remove the rest of the rust by cutting a piece that is relatively easy to cut from a new piece. Pull your carept back. :bigthumbsupBuy a replacement rail and trim it to fit. Then weld it in.
