1947-1954 cowl vent

I apologize if this has been discussed before.

I want to fill the louvered vent and the vent door on my 47 truck.
I know they make patch panels without the drivers side vent door. Anybody
know who makes a patch panel for the passenger side WITHOUT the louvered vent?
Since I need to reapir these areas anyways I was hoping to save a lot of time by not having to do a seperate patch for the vent.

I think that is what most guys do when they fill that. I take it that you aren't running a stock Deluxe heater as that is where it gets it's air.
