Hi Mike, if the radiator is original style copper/brass it can be soft soldered, brazing will be too much heat for the very thin tubes and it will cause nearby solder to melt. Depending on what you find you may be able to repair it yourself, it might be too rotten and need to be re-cored, A new style aluminum radiator would be a good option for a hard working truck but may not find an exact replacement, I try to keep mine as stock as possible and it is doing fine with what I use it for.
