This repair is not especially difficult, and can be done with just a few simple tools. Remarkably, some repair guides indicate that lowering the steering column and removing the entire dashboard/instrument panel is necessary to perform this repair. No so with my particular 02 Ford F250, which could be the case with yours, too.
Step 1. Lift hood, and disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core in the engine compartment located under the cowl on the passenger's side. To avoid spilling coolant you can partially drain the cooling system, or just pinch off the hoses on the engine side of the connections. The heater core OEM hose connectors are plastic quick-connect couplers which were easy to put on in the factory but hard to take off when doing repairs. I recommend using a Dremel tool with a cut-off disk to cut the plastic connectors. Once cut, the hoses can be pulled off. The quick-connect couplers can the be completely removed from the hoses with a hack saw or angle grinder. When reassembling it is far easier to use regular hose clamps, but new quick-connects could be purchased from a Ford dealer if you want.
Step 2. Enter the cab from the front (if crew cab), passenger's side door, and open the glove compartment. There are 2 stops on the top of the glove compartment. Gently squeeze the glove box sides andlower the glove box so it is hanging down.
Step 3. Remove the heater core access panel which is in back of the glove compartment on the right hand side. It is held in place with several 8mm hex-head self-tapping screws. A 1/8" drive mini-ratchet socket driver comes in handy for this purpose.
Step 4. Remove the vacuum heater door actuator. First disconnect the vacuum connector, then remove 2 8mm hex-head self-tapping screws.
Step 5. Remove the electrical heater door actuator. First disconnect the electrical connector. Then pry up front 2 and left rear corners with a small screwdriver. Rotate actuator then raise up and pull out.
Step 6. Remove the electrical heater door bracket.
Step 7. Remove the heater core by pulling the pipes through the firewall toward you and tilting it out. A picture of the 02Ford F250-350
Follow above steps in reverse order to reinstall. Check and add engine coolant as necessary at the end of the repair.

Keep the car's owner's manual handy. Remove the screws or bolts that hold the heater core in place. It may be that you need to remove more parts of the car in order to get to the heater core. Disconnect the intake and outtake hoses from the heater core. Remove the heater core from the car, taking special care to keep the core upright so no coolant spills out. Place the new heater core into the car, and reconnect the hoses as they were connected to the old heater core. Screw or bolt the new heater core into the car, and replace all the other removed car parts.

How to replace heater core on a 1991 F250?
If it is the same as a 92 F250 4x4 diesel it's actually pretty simple. First, take out the glove box by opening it and pressing inward on the two tabs at the bottom. Right behind there is some wiring, and a wiring module that needs to be disconnected and moved aside. After that is off the black plastic heater core cover can clearly be seen. There are about six screws that hold that cover on, a couple are a little difficult to get to. Once the cover is off you will see the core. Disconnect the lines in the engine compartment and with some effort, you will be able to pull the core out from behind the firewall (it is a little difficult as the clearances are a bit tight). Replace the new heater core, replace the cover, wiring and wiring module, glove box and connect the hoses. Run the vehicle until warm, and then double check the coolant level.
