with the engine cool, drain anti-freeze, disconnect heater hoses from heater core, on the inside of the cab remove the glove box, remove the seven screws that hold the cover to the heater box, remove the heater core, hope this helps.

Very simple.
It is behind the glove box.
I can likely do one in under ten minutes.

yup. very easy 10 minute job. and you don't even have to drain the radiator, because the core is higher than the radiator. just take the hoses off, and stick the ends into the hood hinge.

if you have carpeting put a towel/plastic down.

mark hoses before unhooking them.
