Air Vent Block Off

I've been doing some searching but haven't stumbled upon a block off plate for the kick panel air vents on our trucks.

Does anybody know of a vendor that makes them?

I have never seen them aftermarket.
16 Gauge sheet metal from home depot and a pair of sheers. A drill for the holes. Use the original unit for a pattern.

Vintage Air has them. I blocked off both of the kick panel vents when I put the VA in my truck.

Thanks for the responses guys! I'll check into the ones from Vintage Air, otherwise I'll make some!

Once you cut them with sheers you take a ball peen and hammer around the edges to flatten it. Then use a Makita 4 inch with a wheel or flapper to smooth out the edges. Prime and paint the backside at least before install.
