Default Radiator Question

I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 (4.7). It has about 48,000 miles on it and yesterday started giving me some overheating problems. I had the thermostat replaced by pepboys and they checked the heads, waterpump, and fan clutch. SO they narrowed the problem down to the radiator. My question is will a radiator from a 2005 Ram 1500 (5.7) fit my truck? I was told that they used the same radiator. Thanks for the imput.

Thanks for the reply. My brother-in-law just happened to have afairly new radiator from a 2005 ram 1500 (5.7). Pep Boys gave me a quote of 379 today on the highend but say they can find a better price tomorrow when more part dealers are open.
