I have had the heater core, radiator and engine flushed. Having had a 195-degree thermostat installed of course with new coolant. I replaced the temperature control switch on the dash panel. I have also cut a hole in the blend door housing and visually checked the operation of both the actuator motor and blending door both work fine. The temperature of both heater hoses at the fire wall is around 156 degrees. I still have no heat in the interior of the pickup truck cab.

Remove the two heater hoses from the heater core and blow through one of them and see if the heater core is plugged? They heater hoses may be heating up from the opposite direction instead of circulation

Also 156 degrees is not hot enough, you have a defective thermostat. Please go over this guide as well:
