Nope, Jeff Clarke is using the frame and engine on his 75 blazer.

I come across them every once in a while. I say that or an old xj. Here's my reasoning. If you were wanting a dd/trail rig the blazer would be good. But for an offroad rig, a blazer gets expensive. It can be done cheap at first, but if you get hooked into offroading you'll be needing expensive axles and stuff for it to handle the weight. A sammy or xj can be lifted and wheeled cheaply, then if you want to build it more, they can still use cheap axles. The benefit of the xj is that its easy to find a fuel injected one and the 4.0 has good power. Sure people don't like the unitbody, but that makes it light and I haven't heard of one actually falling apart.

So really all you want is an economical trail rig?

Says he wants $1200 for it. Could probably get it a little cheaper.

If you cant find a cheap cherokee, then you haven't been looking that hard. I've seen 88 xj's (like my old one) with less than 150 on the clock sell for 800. Check craigslist and ebay, you'll find one. Hell, I saw a mint 95 on ebay the other day go for $2050.
