The aperture shown in Mariano's post is the cabin outlet. The diagram on page F1-12 seems to indicate the cabin outlet and driver's feet outlets are one and the same.

Always happy to assist, except I think I made an error in saying "The diagram on page F1-12 seems to indicate the cabin outlet and driver's feet outlets are one and the same."

The diagram shows outlets aimed downward (with arrows) just before the windshield outlets, which I had not noted before. These seem to have a manual open/shut lever, and I suspect these are the vents aimed into the driver's and passenger's footwells. So the driver's feet outlet and the cabin outlet are not one and the same as I previously stated.

And thanks for your pics. Have now merged the two threads to build up our common body of knowledge.

The big question is: how much difference was there between the cold weather equipment for Ford and Chevrolet CMPs?

See the thread SCWE (Special Cold Weather Equipment) Maintenance Manual

Ref. text below: "some company variations existed"?
