Look in the for sale section here. There is a member in Canada that has 6 of these frames available in the Detroit area.

A good collision shop should be able to do some tweaks on it and weld the cracks if you do not wish to replace the frame.

the frame can be welded and it'll be as good as new.

just be sure the frame is 100% straight after the repair.

Well I would make sure it doesn't have any rust issue first. Then take it to a collision shop and have them straighten the frame and weld it.
