Well here it is 8 days into a new year. I've been wanting to do this change for along time now. As with most of these trucks my air boxes were rusted out. Since I wanted to fill the cowl vent this was a good excuse to cut the boxes out. But I was not sure how I was going to do this. (Vent fill). My first attempt was to try and flatten the louvers and tack weld them together. That was a big mistake. It did not work. Now this is why I'm glad that I found this site. After looking at hundreds of patch panels that everybody has put into their trucks it just seemed like it was the way to fix and fill my cowl area. I've done a lot of things to my truck over the years but never a patch panel install. So here's my second try.
