Adding truck bed power panel

[CheesyTaco]

Interested in adding this to my bed but I don’t believe I have this “pre-cut” hole there. In fact I haven’t seen any beds with this there with a dummy plate in place. Anyone do this? Is there a precut area on the underside? Maybe a template to cut yourself?

I drilled a hole into the front corner of my bed to get a 12v dc plug back there. Ran the back of the plug into a waterproof receptacle (had to remove the wheel well plastic to access this area) and ran 10 gauge wire from there up to the battery along the inside of the frame. I also ran the wire through a second waterproof box by the battery in which I put 30 amp switch and a low voltage cut off chip so I can keep it off when I don't need to run power back there. Connected this to the battery via a blue sea systems positive bus terminal and a 30 amp fuse. Works great, but I was wishing this gen still had the removable plates when I took this project on.

The says only fits models with the ac inverter socket. Is that the outlet in the right side of the bed? Because I do not have that.
