If you haven't checked already there is a classified section on this site. or www.craigslist.org or www.ebay.com or you local junkyard.

Hmm. I'm intrigued. The later year (ie 96) radiators are significantly less, like $160. Wonder what would be different.

A good boneyard will pull it for you and then push some water through it so you can see if its clogged. I've even seen them do that before they pulled it, to reassure the buyer. Trick is, where are the closest boneyards in your neck of the woods?
www.car-parts.com shows one for your truck for $65 in Lincoln (Singer Auto Parts) and one for $85 in Sydney (QA recyclers). Not affiliated with either one...just sayin. Can't remember my Neb. geography so don't know if either of these is close enough to Omaha to be helpful.
