Trying to decipher your question or statement here...You Mixed you coolant (Two different ones I assume), then you drained it out and flushed your system.....You're heat worked for about and hour after you refilled your system with the proper coolant and then it just quit working??? You state IT won't turn on for about and hour....I have no idea what IT is. Is your truck over heating? Do you have air in the system? Is your T-Stat sticking Open?

Clogged
So there is I mixed green and orange coolant on accident. Had it flushed. The blower wont turn on till the engine warms up. And most of the time I have to squeeze the coolant hoses when coolant is warm, to push the clog out. But it doesn't over heat. So I'm wondering what would be clogged that isn't letting coolant through, to whatever controls my blower.

Sounds like 2 or more different problems, Your blower motor has nothing to do with the Temp of your coolant. When you turn the switch on for the blower it should come on whether you're blowing cold or hot air, so you may have a faulty wire, a loos fuse a blod blower motor relay, but this problem sounds electrical.
You state you have to squeeze your hoses to push the clog out???, Have you seen a mass of some sort inside your hoses? or laying in the top of the radiator? If you have then your system has some sort of sludge that you will need to do a complete flush of the whole system. If your just squeezing the hoses until you're seeing coolant then it tells me you're low on coolant still and squeezing the hoses are helping burp the air out of the system. Recheck the coolant level, get the van up to operating temp and add more coolant, I know some people get the nose up in the air a little bit to force the coolant to the back of the motor and push the air out, you may want to try that.
