Default rotting rear floorpan

I have a 93 cherokee and the cargo area is rotting and has a few holes in. I have one that I cut from a junk one and I'm just going to patch the holes and then herculine it. I've seen on hear a few post that I can't seem to find in the search forum but in the back corners of the cargo are where it behind the tail lamp is a panel that connects to the floor and that has rotted away some and was wondering if any one has had the same problem and has a clue to what they are called or the part number so I can buy them. I would love to post pics but can't get them to size correctly. Hopefully someone can help. I'm gonna try setting a link for you to see what I'm talking about so here it goes. You can see the piece in this pic.

I have no idea what its called, but it wouldn't be hard to remove all the rot, cut sheet metal to fit and weld it in place.

I'm doing this basic process to the entire front floor section of my 87 XJ.

Looking for the plastic or the metal?

I may be able to help you out with the plastics...

I dunno that I can help with that. Any chance you can just make something out of sheet metal?

I've been lucky lately and have found tons of parts trucks around me. I've been working on a 2nd Cherokee just for parts.
