correct name for it

had to replace my 2000 f350 7.3 radiator, also need to replace the dust shield?? this is a rubber like material, goes from the radiator cowl to body, it is held in place by the push type plastic buttons. looks like rubber but it isn't,.maybe masticated rubber?? I have looked all over to find what it is called. or where I can find the material to make another. is it a dust shield or air flow "something"? I know it is a 19 year old truck, but I have only 69,506 miles, I purchased it new so I know that is correct mileage, plus I like the 7.3 engine. So I would like fix it right, other than use duck tape. It would be easy to cut out, if I had the right material. I have a ford service manual, but it does seem to be in it.
thanks in advance for any help at all!!!!

its a filler fan shield...most likely long out of production...

THANKS, please correct me if I'm wrong, isn't fan shield the cowl that goes around the fan blades. guess I didn't explain. what I'm talking about goes from one side to the other, hood latch sticks out of it. goes all way across the top above the grill. but I'm going to check the places you list again, thanks

I believe it's called the upper radiator air deflector...
