I have a stock tank skid from a pre-'96. Think I even have the nut strips also. It looks like someone painted over some rust on the inside, but it's sound.

Want me to check on shipping? What's your zip?

If you're actually going to use it, I'd highly recommend a new hitch. Since they re-inforce the unibody, they get stressed and rust badly in the important areas. My factory 92 was pretty much shot, even before I started seriously wheeling it, to the point that I was no longer comfortable towing our lightweight travel trailer with it. The new one is holding up well, but it doesn't see much road salt anymore.
I got a Hidden Hitch from JC Whitney for the wife's 99 for $120, with a locking hitch pin and tote bag.

I'll look into it.
This is going to be for recovery, so new might be the way to go.

My Draw-Tite is very nice also. Tucks up nice and high.

I'll take the skid by the UPS store tomorrow and get back with you.

No big deal.
