I noted the filler plug to the left of the glove box on your dash. I would surmise that the heater had provisions for a windshield defroster. The '39-40 Ford heater had provisions incorporated within for defrosters. If you look closely at the pix I attached you will note a small cream colored knob located on the upper left side of the heater box.
The '35-36 Fords did not have provisions incorporated in the dash for defrosters, there was an accessory that attached to the left of the instruments on the face of the dash for a defroster tube.
Pages 119,120 of the 35-36 Ford book contains a lot of info on the '35-36 hot air heaters, a pix of one style of the defroster accessory on the face of the dash is shown.
I would not suggest "jury rigging" something up to add defrosters to your car. The system that Ford used did not work well because of it's location on the front of the dash and the crank-out windshield.
