OP, any progress on the search?
5 years ago when I bought the Cherokee, I saw a Cherokee like that for sale at a small little shop that sold cars. The top side was nice. It even had rocker panels!
There was NO FRAME in the back. Well, unibody. The unibody had completely rusted away in the rear. Someone bought it (not me) and for probably 2 years , it was on their lawn with a for sale sign. Pretty sure it ended up getting scrapped. Looks like they bought it, had it a year and couldn't get it inspected again due to the lack of a frame.
Shame. One of the things I do is about immediately is crawl under a used car. If not at the lot then at Walmart or whatever. Hooptie or not. My wife does not quite understand that is not the rust up top that matters, its what is underneath that does.
