I've got an 89 with what sounds like a similar problem, what I discovered was the air flap behind the glove box and heater core cover was not sealing properly. The cold air from the outside was coming into the cab and through my defrost. I haven't corrected it yet because I am unsure about how to get into it so I can work on it. Hopefully this helps you.
