under the passenger side dash, beneath the glove box. remove the heater box cover and there will be another cover to remove and they are right there. if you get bosch filters, there is a diagram on the outside of the box

Don't know about the NBS trucks but they stopped putting the cabin filters in around 2003.
The last time my 05 did this I sprayed lysol into the vents while running the air on full blast . Seemed to help

Could be mold on the evaporator, you could try spraying a product like "Frigi-Fresh" either into the vents or closer to the evaporator, like through the blower motor opening. Frigi-Fresh is made by BG, it's kind of like Lysol for your truck's HVAC system. Also, try to use your climate control in the "fresh" mode (as opposed to recirc) as much as possible, to help prevent excessive moisture=mold on the evaporator.
