I have no idea, but I had my frame patched above both spring perches. I was pretty bad if you ask me. When the guy put it on his lift he said the one side perch fell on it's own, meaning the only thing holding the spring in place was the weight of the vehicle. He said the other side wasn't too far behind.
If you look in my build thread you will see where it was patched and how much he patched.
I would think your gonna find the same issues if you found another frame. Good luck.

I have a buddy at work who got a truck with a cracked frame for like 100 bucks.
Cracked right at the bed, so he cut the frame off, made the rear end of it into a buggy pretty much.
You could do the same thing, or a flat bed, or even bolt the bed up to it again.
Just take lots of measurements if thats the route you take.

Or an 84-89 4Runner, if it's a short bed PU. You could also use a 90-95 4Runner, but you'd have to mod it for leaf springs instead of coils.

I know I didn't say I knew, but aren't the leaf springs/coil springs different? I would think they wouldn't be a direct fit. ie 89-95 had different leaf springs and the 4runners forget which years had coils.
frames might be the same but the rear suspension will be different and will have to be dealt with I would assume.

Patience is clearly not one of your virtues.
Do some searching in the Engine Swaps section and you'll find your answer.
If you need the answers as quick as you make it seem then that is your best bet.
I'd also start being more appreciative to the members who are helping you out instead of complaining about not getting an answer.
Just a thought.
