Two heaters were available. One was a recirculating heater that simply heated the air in the cab. The other was a fresh air heater that had ductwork to that outside vent that could be opened to pull fresh air in from outside.

My side cowl vent had a cover over it I assumed the PO put on it when they put in the AC unit. I'm considering adding a duct to an outlet on the kick panel for when I want fresh air and it is raining too hard to open the cowl vent. I vaguely remember a car my family had, I think it was the 54 Ford SW, that had a door on the heater that you could open for fresh air.
