Can you post the link to that site? From my research, I know that there were wide-track FS Jeeps in the late '70s, I have seen one each (Wagoneer and Cherokee) in my local boneyards.
On the battery drain issue, you may have a bad electrical component somewhere. My '77 Corvette had a terrible battery drain for years (it was my dad's car before it was mine), and it went away after I made a minor repair somewhere along the line. I don't even know what it was that I fixed. Electrical problems like that are a total pain. I think there might be an old thread or a tech tip on here about tracking down your troubles.
