Default Console/Air Vent Cover/Plate

I started a few weeks ago fixing the seat hinges. Well that turned into dying the seat backs and painting the seat frames, which lead to pulling the center console and e brake pad, which led to taking all of the plastic trim around the windows out, which led to taking the carpet out, which led to taking the door panels out, which led to taking the center console gage cluster out, etc, etc, etc..... I have become victim to the "while you are at it" disease.

I am ready to order the new parts for the interior, but I cannot find one part. My 79 does not have air conditioning, so there are no vents above the center console. There is a plate that says "Corvette" on it. I cannot find this plate in Eckler's. Does anyone have this part number or know its technical name so I can order it?

After doing some research, I think this part is called a "Wiper Console Bezel" for Vettes prior to 1976. They sell those, but I still cannot find anything for a 79.

I am getting my order ready, so please, please help me asap.

:cheers:
