Most parts interchange, but some don't. All the interior stuff is the same, engine stuff is the same, there are some brake differences, axle differences and shock differences. Your best bet is to always get what you think is right, compare it before you put it on and return it if necessary.

1.) I would braze the radiator myself. I'm assuming its brass. Brass radiators are great and as long as they aren't plugged up or beat up they last. They might get ugly though.

All you need to braze the radiator is a propane torch, good steel bristled brush, and some solder. Check out youtube to learn how if you must, but for around $40 you can do it yourself and get some new tools.

2) It sounds like your steering box needs to be rebuilt, or the leak is from elsewhere. Could it be your brakes leaking down on the shaft?

3) Any shock will do, but I almost never recommend heavy duty shocks if you aren't hauling daily or even weekly.

4) If the plastic is still in tact and holding up you could repaint them.
