This vehicle is not a unibody, and the parts you're looking for aren't available at NAPA. You have a serious problem, and quite frankly might be beyond what most people can handle.
Trunk rot was a common problem on these cars. The frame rusted right behind the rear axle hump. Most people never knew it was bad until they were rear ended.
Depending on the severity of the rot, you might be able to have a talented fabricator make you some replacement frame rail sections. In fact, they've done stuff like this on Overhaulin' and American Hot Rod. It can be done in real life as well!
Good luck!

Its your rear marvel mounts that bolt to the towers whilst they bypass undesirable the rear suspension will make noise each and every time the motor vehicle hits a bump. the only thank you to restoration this subject is to have the rear struts replaced. I actually have a 1993 Grand Prix and had the same subject its very elementary on those automobiles additionally examine the outer leaf spring bushings they have an inclination to slide off the top of the springs if those bushings bypass undesirable than the rear suspension will make noise they are very affordable I payed 15 money for the two one in each of them and that they are incredibly ordinary to place in.

Is that vehicle 'Unibody' construction? I can,t picture one in my mind right now but try asking someone in a body shop what they recommend. It might be that you could get a replacement section for the damaged area and have it welded in.
