Flywheel dust cover manual trans

[CheyLadd]

Hey folks. I am in the process of building a motor for my 72 Cheyenne Super shortbed 4X4. It has the sm465 and is missing the flywheel dust cover. I have searched everywhere including the archives on this board and the consensus seems to be that no one makes them anymore and you can't find them.

Am I accurate on this? If so, has anyone tried to fabricate one and been successful at it? Are there other covers that are close enough you can adapt them and make them work? It has been open since I bought the truck a year ago and with the engine built and a new clutch in there, I really want to close it up. Especially with winter coming.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
