Frame does look very clean, however it looks like it may have a patch piece where the right-side rear lower control arm goes into the frame (pictures 4&6). It looks like a replacement section of the frame welded in to me.
 
Nice looking Jeep, but in picture #4 is that a patch that was welded to the frame ?
I would take a flash light and look inside the frame rail holes to see if there is more rust.
 
Definitely a patch by the lower control arm mount. If it was bad enough to require a welded in patch it was likely rotting out from the inside. There is likely more rot issues lurking inside. If you're insistent on this one, get a scope or camera to check inside the entire frame. I would pass if it were me.
