Well do you know anyone with a sheet metal brake? It would be real simple to bend up a panel that you could then take and turn into a similar panel. Or know where a 60's/ 70's chevy fleetside bed is that you can cut the top six or so inches off one side and flip over and bend a lip on the side to make that panel?

Years ago I saved the under dash panel out of if memory serves right a Ford maverck.

I think the one I have is like the top one out of a non ac car that has a little shelve on the drivers side to stick stuff along with the glove box. They do have one with AC outlets like shown in the bottom When I made my Custom dash I eliminated the glove box and this would have given me a glove box and place for the radio. Finding a Maverick in a wrecking yard now might be a serous challenge on it's own though.
