Replacing the heater core in a 1st generation ranger is pretty easy, if you can handle being upside-down for a while. I did it all by myself in the freezing cold.
First and foremost: Bypass the heater core and flush your entire coolant system.
Don't bother trying to take out the glove box and all that carp. There is a panel on the bottom of the heater box,(behind the glove box) 6 screws and its open. Then you reach in and wiggle the old core out and slide the new one in. Slap your coolant lines back on (hopefully you bought new ones) and youre good to go.
