Battery Cover???

Well seen a couple of picture of 05 F350 diesels and they all seem to have a hard plastic cover over the driver side battery... Not sure the purpose but would like to replace since mine is missing.. Does anyone know the part # or what it is called??? Thank you

Sad but true!

I read about a guy that fried his PCM when/after washing the engine ... He probably still feels that Ford is at fault for a crappy design, even though he removed and never replaced that cover.
