So when I did my build I swapped the tank because I knew the pump in my old tank was pretty new and I had a new filter I wanted to put in it. In order to pull the tank I had to pull the fuel line plate from behind the driver side quarter panel. I noticed the old one is looking pretty rough and has a few rust holes in it, so I was going to order a new one. I can't for the life of me find one for sale online. Has anyone bought one before? Know where to look? I don't want to reuse the old one because it's pretty rough. Any help would be great!

Junkyard is going to be your best option. Might have to look at a few nut you will find one. Or you could take it to a fab shop and have them make one. Or even better if your handy get a chunk of sheet metal and bend your own

I think there may be a guy near me selling one on fb marketplace. Try looking up the following part number

55003285ab

See if that will fit your cherokee

If you want new (NOS), there is a listing on ebay, but it isnt cheap. Type "mopar 55003285ab". Or search for macsusedcars0 or deadjeeps on ebay. Or you can fab your own. The overall shape is easy. The tough part will be the indentations on either side, but you dont need those anyway. For parts such as this, you can use a benchvise and a couple blocks of wood or steel square stock to bend the edges, and a mallet to beat it into shape. Use whats left of your original as a template. Not sure what gauge steel the original is. I fabbed a panel for something else and looked to be the same gauge which, IIRC, was 22.
