Default Whats missing from my dash in the picture ?

Below the stereo theirs been a gap there ever since iv'e had the car 18 months ! Thought its time to tidy it up, what would have been there an amp or something ? Does anybody know of anywhere that does panels that fit in this space for a gauge or something ?

Hope the pic isn't too big
Thanks Simon.

Originally there would have been a seperate amp for the stereo in there!
I replaced the one in my 3 door for a pocket thing that is found in many other Sierra models.
