Radio panel repair

[wydomkr]

I just picked up a 1980 Silverado over the weekend. 350, 4-speed, body is excellent shape for as old as it is. Anyway, at some point someone cut the dash to put a CD player in it. Now that's bad enough, but someone then stole the CD player and so what was left of the metal rectangle where the CD player sat has now been further butchered and I don't think there is enough metal there to even put a CD player back in. Does somebody after market make a patch panel to repair this? I did a Google search, but didn't come up with much except for people cutting that section out of parts dash and welding it in or replacing the whole dash. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
