I'm not sure if it used a delete plate or the chrome panel didn't have the slots.. I have never seen a '51 without a heater so IDK what was used originally, only know that heaters were all optional.. Standard equipment on Deluxe cars ( yours being a 2dr ht is likely a Deluxe ) but they could be excluded from the deluxe option package if it was ordered that way. same with radio's
The chrome speaker grille I bought does not have the heater controls.

I was thinking about buying this but I think the dash is welded in from the factory....not sure....gotta look...
