this is the 78's heater box. what's with the giant hole? the duct doesn't look like it was cut. is it from another truck maybe?

Now I am confused. Look at this one on e-bay. It looks just like yours. Mine doesn't, go figure. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-1974-1975-1976-1977-1978-1979-ford-truck-defrost-duct-f150-f250-f350-/161555443863?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item259d747097&vxp=mtr

That looks like a defroster vent from an a/c truck. See the pic I attached? See the 2 rectangle opening on the a/c box top?
Rear is for the defrost vent and the front is for the flex tube that goes to the center dash vents.
Your defrost vent looks like it would fit the a/c box? Do you think your truck was a/c at one time?
At least he should of put some duct vent foil tape on that big ol hole?
Looks like same pt# for the defrost vent a/c or none a/c.
See pt # 18490, but the none a/c vent looks to have a short flex adapter pt # 18547 ??
