You cannot lift a truck with a d60 to a radiator swap, all you would accomplish is no cooling and 6 wheels, 2 of which are useless.

You can probably find one at your local pick and pull if you look around.
the older ones had a fill cap, i'd try and grab a 94 or an early 95 if you can.
That will save you a lot of hastle.
All sorts of different places offer them.
The trucks dissipate heat pretty good, so no need to really get a "better" one.

If your truck was made in late '94 or early 95 it will have a radiator cap on the radiator. If your truck has the radiator cap, make sure to get the right radiator, it will be listed as "early 95."
The early 95 radiator is all copper.

the hardest part is getting the fan clutch nut released. a long chisel and hammer is the easiest way to knock it loose. other then that there are no special tools required, just drain the fluid and remove the hoses and bolts.
