Have any of you seen or know about the "Radio Grille Screen" behind the radio grill in a '54-'55 first dash? Most have long since disappeared. Perhaps you have seen some remnants.

The Radio Grille Screen should hide the speaker and hide the wires behind the dash if there is no radio.
> Tim's does not have a screen.

Looks like the screen was installed in all trucks.

My '54 has the retainer tabs at the top, but there is nothing on the bottom to attach a screen or baffle.

I'm gonna engineer something, but it will help if I know what I am trying to replicate.

Thanks for your help,
