To use the later rad, you ALSO will need...
Fan hub.
Clutch fan
Fan shroud
Upper radiator neck and hose
Different mounts on the core support for the radiator or swap out the core support.
if you swap out the core support the grille and lower valence will need to be swapped too.

Since you have the donor truck, imho, swap all the parts to make it work.
The upper water neck (to point the other way) is readily available aftermarket... if you don't want to pillage that off your otherwise complete IC engine.

Hey Kevin, to be honest, by the time i flushed my old rad, (3 times),and installed a new temp sensor everything is working fine. But i still want to swap the whole 92 rad. package, later this year.
u2slow, yes i agree.
