Solution. I ordered another vent which fits flush with the under the dash surface. Hats off to Mark at Vintage Air for helping me come up with a solution. I am going to send him what we did to help them solve this problem in our 1947-1953 Chevy cars and trucks.

In the first photo you see the standard vent. It came to us this way. The long brace is slanted down and needs to be straight, so we removed the arm and mounted the front screw under the brace to lift the brace up level. We then cut the brace off because we do not need it that long. We drilled a hole in the side to add a screw to sturdy the brace so that it would not be able to move up and down. We then drilled a screw hole in the shorter tab to use to mount it to the dash. I will send the last 3 photos in the next reply.
