Couple of issues to check---is the hose to the heater core getting hot indicating flow? 2nd--the heater control flapper needs to open to allow air to pass through the heater and into the cab. Depending on if the truck is an AC or Non-AC---trace the cables to see if they are hooked up or broken---start to disassemble the in cab heater ducts to find the air flow blockage. It can and often is a Mickey Mouse House nest in the plastic heater housing which can be a PITA to clean out but must be done if it's blocking air flow.

Also, could be the heater control valve. The lever is in the heat mode, but the valve is not opening allowing hot water to run through the heater core.

Also you could have a bunch of leaves or something in your cowl & heater box blocking air flow

And you may have a heater core that is corroded up inside, but check all the other stuff before you replace the core

Or could be like me....pinched hose to the heater core.

try checking your coolant level, if it gets too low the heater won't work. this happened to me once
