I want to replace the radiator in my C60 bus this weekend...any tips on how to distinguish between good and bad radiators at the junkyard (are they all bad?) and how to make sure I find one that'll work? It's a smallblock in the 283-307-327 family, I dont know which, and the current radiator looks waaaay too small to keep that little motor cool.

Is the original radiator still in your truck or has it been swapped? The original should be able to handle your V8 needs.

Chances of you finding a "good" original radiator in the juck yard are very slim. Save your time and money and take what you have to a good radiator shop and have it tested, repaired or recored.
