Cabin air

Does anyone know where the air intake for the cabin air conditioning system is? The past several trucks I've owned had a cabin air filter which I replaced annually. They get filthy and I can see why this dirt should not get into the evaporator coil. It will reduce air flow and here in Texas we need all the air flow we can get (106 today). It shouldn't be too hard to improvise a filter to wrap over the intake (for a cheap fix).

You will have to remove the wiper cowling, it comes in under there ( which is why the cowling is grated/ perforated). I'm thinking a piece of foam would do the trick.

I see some post that indicate that if there is one its behind the glove box and has some tabs on it. Its a good question. I will be looking for one on mine now and if I don't have one I will check with Ford for a kit. The older models use to have them and if they didn't there was a kit you could get.
