How to plug hole in pickup box?

I just took a B&W gooseneck hitch out of my Super Duty shortbox, and installed it in my Super Duty longbox - anybody know of any way to cover the 4" hole in the box of the old pickup?

Thanks
Dave

Right. I use the "Hide-a-Balls" so I have cut out about a 8"X10" rectangular piece of the bed, but I always save it. Then when selling the truck, I gas-weld it back in, hit it with a spray can and you have to look twice to see there ever was a gooseneck there.

There are plugsyou can get for things like that.

I am betting a trailer supply store will have one or be able to get one.
