This was a post I made a while back that may help. They attach with a sheet metal screw on one side (you can see the hole in the dash) the other side attaches with a clip they either than face straight down for hose attachment or they turn into the firewall some have two screws for attachment and no clip but they pivot for ease of attachment one side has a full hole the other a slot.
Two styles of 1954 vents both made of aluminium one type straight the other reverse bend see pictures:

Next there are at least two styles of sheet ducts: 47-51 style:

Then to add even more confusion I have seen them with and without these black spacers (usually on 1947-1950 trucks).

The driver side kicking right a bit depending on the style.
