Its location is just above the oil filter.
The end of the electrical plug is located below the drivers side battery. It is hard to find and may be tie wrapped and the electrical end may have a cover protecting it.

mine is in the oil cooler near to the oil filter connector and goes to there with a cable to the left front of the truck near to the radiator and core support.

Here is a pic of the oil cooler where the block heater screws and the block heather itself.

The plug is camouflaged in plain sight so to speak. Look under the bumper looking up into the area of the battery. If the cord has never been used it will be wire tied in place to the sheet metal beside the radiator.

97s did have the option of not having a block heater.... but you could just take the plug out and put a replacement one in if that is the case.
