1996 swap radiators

I am thinking of swapping the radiator in my 96 F150 4x4,300,5spd,ac truck. The one in it is fine but it is the small one not the hd cooling version. It has 29000 miles on the truck. I noticed last summer when it was really hot out that when I pulled a small trailer with a golf cart on it that the temp climbed fast. Not enough for alarm just enough to make me think about getting the larger one. Would I need to swap the shroud for another and will it mount up with out changing anything else? Just trying to plan out my summer mod schedule for my trucks in advance. Thanks!

Did the fan shroud bolt up without any modifications?
