Default Seat fram rusted out on 89 cherokee

I hope I'm calling it right. Where the front part of the driver side seat mounts to the floor. The frame rusted out and snapped while driving today. Wouldn't be to bad except its a manual. Kind of hard to take off in. Can I o to a junk yard and mount on a new frame? Or do I need to get the seat and all?

Alright. I have a temp solution in place. I've been going through my manual and it does not list how to remove the seat. Right now I have my rear seats folded down and concrete blocks shoved in between to help it not sway back. I can not find a seat removal write up to save my life.

Wow that's ugly. Yea you can get just the frame. Be prepared for bolts snapping in the floor.

Barely a hijack - looks like my frame (well, the legs bolted down) are going to be in that sort of shape in a few years. What does the bolt actually pass through? Will I likely need to re-tap or is there a nut on the other side of the floor?
