I will tell you how to replace it the heater core instead.
*** Caution ***
Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink ant that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.

How do I locate the heater blend door actuator in a Ford f150 pickup
Usually you just buy hose and bypass the core.
There are several common heater problems for a 1997 f150. A stopped up or leaking heater core, bad thermostat or clogged up blower fan housing all can cause heat problems.
If you bypass it correctly you will just no longer have any interior heat. Simply disconnect the heater hoses and connect them together. Connect the Inlet hose & Outlet hose going to the heater core together using a connector that you can purchase at most auto parts stores. By doing this you are simply routing the coolant away from the heater core. WARNING: Do not plug either of these hoses!!!!
No , if you were to bypass the heater core , you would have no heat

heater core hoses not hot
Simply disconnect the heater hoses going to and from the heater, (Inlet & Outlet) at the firewall. Purchase the proper size hose coupling that will allow you to connect the 2 hoses together. Do not plug these hoses, just connect them together. The coolant will now not flow through the heater core.
