Question Clutch Opening in Firewall

I have a 69 SWB Step that has a 350 Automatic in it. However, it originally had a 3-speed. So, I have a hole in my firewall. What was there from the factory on automatics? Is is a rubber grommet or a panel?

There Is A Small Metal Plate That Covers Up The Hole On Trucks With An Automatic Tranny, As All Trucks Came With This Provision For A Clutch Rod. Heres A Picture Of It. I'm Pretty Sure I Have An Extra One Around Here Somewhere. $10 Shipped. John

Re: Clutch Opening in Firewall

if you're not doing a perfect restoration,why not weld it up?That's what I'm gonna do.
