No disrespect intended, but you're talking about a truck that even in its lightest version weighs 3500 pounds. Going with a smaller radiator to reduce the amount of coolant doesn't seem like it would make a whole lot of difference. Maybe if you're stripping it down to make the ultimate autocross truck...

Most people use aluminum radiators for superior cooling rather than for weight savings.
