The foot well vents of my 67 C10 was jammed with leaves as well. I tried the shop vac trick but could not get the hose in there far enough. I tried compressed air and a leaf blower but still some remained and a leaf or two would blow out every time I drove it. I ended up using some 1.25" pvc pipe, a 90 degree elbow and an adapter/reducer to make my own attachment to the shop vac hose and that worked the best to get in there with the vent door still on.
