I just wanted to report back for anyone that needs the help. I replaced the heater core last weekend and solved the problem. There was a puddle of coolant in my box and the core was certainly leaking.
I bought my core at Napa and although it was squared off on the top and bottom (unlike my original unit), it fit like a glove. The only problem I have now is when I turn the fan speed on high, I get a slight whistling sound that is annoying as can be. I suspect I need to put some new seam sealant around the area where the heater core spouts stick through the firewall, as there was a good bit there to begin with. Otherwise, I now have great heat again, with crystal clear glass.
Thanks folks.

I have to say, I actually did say "that was way too easy" to myself, and then I remembered your post. I kept checking to make sure I didn't miss something...LOL. Usually Ford makes repair work a little more challenging than that!
