Gen-II Radiator Replacement

Made a stop on the way home from work today only to come back to the truck
to find a puddle of antifreeze on the ground. I popped the hood to make
sure there wasn't anything obviously wrong (hose off or something) and
decided to make the 5 mile trip home. After further inspection at home, I
found a fast drip of antifreeze coming from the top left corner of the
radiator. I haven't had time to look at it any more, so I'll be driving
something else in to work until I can fix it.

I assume the radiator will need to be replaced, or can these be fixed? I'm
not exactly sure where the leak is...just know it's dripping from the top
corner.

How hard is it to swap in a new one? Is there anything besides the
upper/lower hoses and the transmission lines in and out? Do I replace the
crimped hose fitting used on the transimission lines with new hoses and
regular hose clamps?

Any help would be great.
Thanks.
