I can only assume that one of the previous owners was getting ready to install a digital multimedia screen.

My grand Kiddies call me Grumpy also. Not sure if that's where you got yours or not? I passed the name onto my 28 truck. Seemed like the thing to do  David

Trying to come up with a decent looking fix is proving elusive In my 41 Chevy Master Deluxe there is a grill there where the speaker would be if there was a radio. Perhaps something like that may not look out of place.
I have found that having an old car is a constant project that is never done. I think that is a good thing. Keeps me learning new things. Having two from different eras is just a form of higher education.

I don't know how many years used that dash but maybe find someone doing a custom or parting a truck out and buy the dash out of it??
