As long as it has the same connections for the trans and oil coolers (which it should even in the 95's), it should physically work, although I would warn against replacing one of these plastic deals with an even older plastic one.

I'm sure this is to save a few bucks, or perhaps just the convenience of having a replacement close at hand, and I certainly can't/won't speak against anyone who might be a little cash-strapped right now, but your better off, in the long run, paying the $140-$160 (depending on brand and local prices) and just getting a new piece.

$229 is what we paid for a radiator with the trans and oil cooler lines for a 98 2wd blazer.

I have to agree with Black X. If your truck isn't running now because of a bad radiator and you just can't afford a new one, do what you have to do but definately save up for a brand new one right away. A motor rebuild cuz it overheated is alot more expensive than a new radiator.
