You got a deal. I haven't seen a decent one come up that cheap. They all seem to be rustier than mine and I have many hours of repair time trying to weld up all the holes and replace metal where I could. There's a lot of curved metal on the inside half that is difficult for me to reproduce with my modest skill and tools.
I don't see a problem with a fiberglass hatch. I seem to remember the hatch on my Jimmy was made of fiberglass. Heck, I am building a Factory 5 Roadster and the doors, hood and boot intentionally don't fit and they expect the builder to trim them to size.
I'd be happy if someone would stamp a inside lower section patch panel. It's about the size of a rocker panel.
Mr Buick, I wouldn't give up the quest but you have to go through the channels.
