If I got the 5.3 out of a truck could I use a 4l60e out of an express van with a 4.3? I know where a few of those are.

You can use a 4L60 out of a van or a camaro...its all the same. If I am not mistaken you can use the camaro front accessories with the truck intake. That would give you the powerband you need for towing as well as the clearance for the radiator. The car intake won't hurt for towing as I've done many swaps in trucks using car intakes that tow regularly. Check with entropy radiator as well. They can make an all aluminum radiator with e-fans that is built year model specific for stock or LS swap applications. great product. www.entropyrad.com
