56 Pass side freshair vent

1956 F-100. It has no heater. Behind the Passenger side Freshair vent there is no plenum, no blockoff, no nada; therefore I will get water inside when the truck gets washed or when it rains.
What is recommended for a Blockoff on the inside where I can utilize the 4 screw holes?
Does OldAir have a plenum that fits at the inside of the vent and attaches with the 4 screws?

trucks with recirculating heaters usually have this blocked off by a steel plate with captured nuts, retained with the screws in the right side of the cowl. they also seem to have a small area relieved to drain water to the lower part of the cowl behind the fender and tire.

The trucks with fresh air heaters have use open place this to get........ fresh air... Is it the rest of the fresh air heater was removed from the truck?

I have seen in some of the vendor's catalogs ABS plastic replacement block off plates if you wish to close it off... requires removal of the right kick panel for access.
