Great first truck Chad! And as been said already don't beat yourself up about it! I popped my first restore, 1954 chevy passenger car, after I had totally restored it.. Now I laugh about it. The toughest thing I see on the truck will be the cowl. I would say it will need to "pulled" out with a power post at least which will require a body shop. With the sheet metal in these trucks it will repair very easy.
Your radiator issue looks like a tight fit. Can you get a pair of vise grips on the rounded over side and possibly get a wrench on the square nut and turn it that way?
