85 Dodge B150 not warming up

1985 Dodge B150 with a 318.

I noticed that there is not a heater valve? AKA the two small rubber hoses going to and from the water pump and the heater core are uninterrupted. Is there supposed to be a heater valve on one of those lines? Is that why it may not be coming up to running temperature? Dropped a new thermostat in with no change. Thanks!

Are you saying then engine is running cold or just the interior heat is not warm?
Almost always when an engine runs cold it is a thermostat problem. But if you think the issue is the heater core, loop the heater hose to bypass the heater core and see if the engine runs warmer.
