Make sure all of your climate control cables are hooked up and adjusted properly. When you have the mode selector in the off position you shoud not feel any air coming out your defroster or your floor vents. It shoud not be hard to diagnose since your dealing with cables instead of vacuum lines.

My 82 F150 is doing the same thing.
I went under the hood and moved the temp lever to off and under the dash and moved that lever to off also.
Both of my cables don't work. It is a pain in the winter.
