Its not worth putting or modding the 05 fans to fit the smaller radiator, Get a rad that comes in any truck with a 6.0 from 99-04 or any 05+ truck with any motor. I'm telling you if you get the 34" rad it will ALL bolt right in and look 100 times better than making it fit on the smaller rad.

My 02 GMC Yukon XL had the towing package and had the radiator all in it. All I needed was the harness and 2 fan to radiator bolts from GM to make it work

Just the core....don't include the plastic end caps. Measure straight across, not diagonal. It will be either 27" or 34".

Measure your radiator first then see where you need to go. Get a stock radiator and you will be fine.
