If you are noticing that your heater is only putting out air in the defrost mode it is because the white vacuum line near the passenger side hood hinge on your truck is disintegrated. Replace that rotted line with regular rubber vacuum hose. Cut it back into the loom so you can connect to an area of white line that has been shielded from UV exposure. The other side of the line goes to the actuator on top of the heater box. Great videos and I appreciate the fact that you film the humility you experience instead of hiding it like in the DT466E oil pickup tube bolts that were "missing". Keep it up! Also noted that you have the old tailgate in your scrap bin. Those aluminum trim panels on the tailgates are worth a few bucks to others if you toss it up on craigslist.

If you plan to keep it, consider cleaning the underside with a hot water pressure washer, then after it dries, spraying the whole thing with creeping anti rust fluid/vax. It works even if the car is old, and has started to rust. Raising the car at an angle, then drilling holes at strategic locations, and spaying it up the holes, so it creeps along the beams is also beneficial. Heck even old motor oil, and some solvent works if you are on a budget, but it is pretty messy. I used a product called Dinitrol ML, under my car, it worked great.
