Cab air vents

I've got an 83 f150 5.8 L with air coming out of the top and bottom vents, but not the ones in the dash. Is it a blockage?

most likely in the controls. can't tell you off the top of my head where the door is, but there is a door somewhere that isn't changing as it should.

another note is that all heaters that have vacuum driven doors are built to automatically go back to defrost in case of a failure so that you can always have the defrosters available.
