Radiator

Hey, i've got a couple questions about radiators. I have an 89 302/5spd. On the way to work the fan somehow came off and took out the radiator. I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow and was wondering what year radiators will work. I'm assuming any 87-96's but not sure. Does the new radiator have to come from a truck with a manual and 302 or are they all the same?

Thanks

Radiators for auto-trannied trucks have a trans cooler built in. I don't think it would hurt anything if you used one on a manual-trannied truck and just left the tranny lines disconnected. You cannot use a radiator from a 300, the fittings are backwards from the V-8 trucks.
