Heater control delete plate question

I am installing a vintage air setup in my 71 but I opted for the three knob style controls I was thinking about getting a heater control delete plate and installing the knob set in the plate for a nice clean install. How hard is it to get one of these plates or am I just SOL?

thanks Chad

Here is my recent install.I gutted the heater control and cut away some of it to accept a rotary switch.I used a 1/8"acrylic panel to mount it to.

I think a radio delete plate will just barely cover it and you would have to make something to secure it but it would look correct, they go for about $25. I really like gotchamel's idea that looks slick!

Re: Heater control delete plate question

Heater delete plates are probably one of the most rare parts on these trucks.
The under hood plate has been seen or owned by a few members, but the inside plate is impossible to find.

Well here is what I came up with for a heater control delete plate made from a radio delete plate. I think it will work out pretty good what y'all think?
