Vents dont work
So the weather turned to utter cr@% (fun) last night, Locked in my hubs and turned the dash switch to 4H, then turned the climate control to the vent setting, Got a cracked windshield so didnt want the defrost selection and possibly makin crack worse. well all I got was defrost, no vents and no floor heat either. the 4wd works fine, could feel it diggin n bitin its way up the snowy muddy hills, anyone got any ideas on this?

If the 4WD is working then you have a working vac pump. Must be a leaking vac line. Start under the hood and check for vacuum at HVAC vac line and that is connected.
Next is behind the glove box. Here's a schematic for the manual a/c system.

Thanks guy's, Lot's of great info 
However, the mystery continues, Fired the truck up tonight to go back to the camp and the vents were blowin warm air when I got in (after about 15 min of warmup) and all the positions on the climate control worked as they were supposed to as well as the 4wd. I will go through all the lines and inspect them for leaks with the help from all your contributions. Thanks

ESOF module. Seriously check that out. It's not a lot of money and this is a common failure point at this age. I replaced mine with the same symptoms you describe and haven't had a repeat of the problem since then.
