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? |

Re: Air Vent Block Off
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.

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

Re: Air Vent Block Off
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.
