THANK GOD I don't have to deal with that sort of rust.

If it were me... I'd scrap the Jeep and buy a different one.

But with enough cutting, grinding, plating, welding and improvising you could get it fixed.

patch it up and go with a coil conversion, that way you don't have to worry about integrity of the repair so much.

It should not be that hard to build a better stronger box.
