Interior Heater Box
One of the challenges of owning a truck older than oneself is it's tough to relate to what was the original intent or function of certain items. The heater box inside the cab is a perfect example. Yes, I am sure an owners manual or shop manual would help, but funds are being collected for new rubber as getting rid of old dry rot tires is my next move. This is after my entire transmission rebuild was completed by a local professional. 
Yes, if I'm gonna run it as a daily driver, it will be made into a solid performer.
As we approach winter I think I am missing a door or flap that would be shut to switch to defrost mode in addition to pulling the dash lever to move the cable, but I am unsure. I tried to look at various literature and parts catalogs to find out how this works but it might be time to just ask... Does anyone have a photo that captured the box inside? It has On-Off indications on the side of the box but no lever present to switch it. Is there a door missing? Where could I find a replacement if gone?

or shop manual would help, but I tried to look at various literature and parts catalogs 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog ~ Illustration Section 184, Page 9 // Available on a CD from hipoparts.com // Fordification.com has the CD catalog on their website that's accessible to all.
Owners manual next to worthless in this situation.
