temperature difference on different sides of the truck

Has anyone else noticed that the passenger side of the truck is for some reason colder than the drivers side? I currently live in Maine and the winters can be pretty brutal. My wife always complains about how shes freezing... but on the driver side, my feet are nearly sweating. Finally I let her drive and sat on the foreign (to me) side of my truck and it is defiantly colder.
Anyone else notice this?

My brother-in-law is a life-long GM man, and when he married my sister back in the 1970's, she brought into the marriage a car (a '73 Dodge Dart) that became their daily driver.

The first winter he drove the car, he complained constantly about how cold the car was and how his feet were always freezing no matter how high he turned the heat on. In mentioning this at a family get-together one night, one of my other brother-in-laws (a life-long Mopar man) casually asked him if he had closed the vent door?

It was discovered that my "GM" brother-in-law didn't realize that Mopar's from that era had a little door underneath the dash that opened to let cool air flow in during the summer months. Turns out he drove an entire Minnesota winter with the vent wide open and blowing frigid air on his feet as he tooled down the highway.....
