I own a shop, and a "74" stump jumping C-10. I had the same problem with mine, and I didn't know what was going on until i happened to notice a wet place in the passenger floor board. That coolant will stick to the windows like glue, and you can't hardly wash it off. They will not stop fogging up until you fix the heater core. I put a shut off valve in my heater hose so I could turn it off when I didn't need it. That way I got by till the weather warmed up enough to work on it. You can get a new heater core at Auto Zone for about $25-$30, and it don't take that long to change it out. It's just a pain in the butt to do, that's all.
Glad to help out, Good luck!!!

I had this problem with my 76 Chevy and I ended up buying a item at Walmart that helps to eliminate the fogging of windows. I also ended up changing the heater core. You may also check the floorboard and make sure it hasn't rusted out that allows moisture into the cab and will cause the fogging

There is nothing wrong with your heater core as some others have told you.Unless you really smell antifreeze or your floorboard is wet(not from rain).My truck does the same thing,it is just the humidity.My fix was to go out and buy some of those little side window vent visors.Then you are able to crack the window a bit regardless if its raining hard.Here is what they look like---

Those things are cheap and should fix your problem,it did in my case.

Sounds like you have a hole in your heater core. It is leaking a small amount of coolant into the heater and when it get hot enough, it vaporises and steams up the windshield. I had the same problem a few years ago. Replacing the heater core should fix the problem.

The above guy is right, it is your heater center. it could or might not be an uncomplicated restoration. some vehicles (80's Mustang 5.0) you had to eliminate the rattling sprint panel to get to it. i think of which may be the exception particularly than the norm, yet you're able to ask the question returned and tell what variety of vehicle that's and get suggestion from somebody who knows of your particular vehicle.

Heater core needs replaced. You can try Rain-x (for interior windows) as a temporary solution

Cut a potato in half & wipe the cut sides over the affected windows. (Inside only) Allow the starch to dry, then polish off with a clean cloth.

well a possiblity is the heater core is leaking as that its self will cause the windows to fog but you should smell antifreeze if that be the case but not always

you need a new heater core and then clean your windows with rubbing or denatured alchol to remove the film left behind from the coolant mist

Sounds like you have a leaky heater core (or a rusted out floor board)
