Who makes the filler plates to shave the front marker lights?

Long story short. I have a 71 C10 that needs a new bed. I can get a 67 bed cheap but of course they do not have the location for the side marker lights in them. So now I thinking about shaving the 2 front marker lights I have. Does anyone make the filler plates to do this or will I have to try and fab up something?
Thanks

takes almost 5 minutes to make a set from scrap and a pair of metal shears.

They are easy enough to make, but LMC does have them cheap if you're not into making your own stuff
