My 51' Chevy pkp continues to run hot. I would like to change the radiator out. I purchased the truck recently and to be honest I am not sure what radiator is in it. I am running a 69' Chevy Camaro 350. I could use some help on the size radiator I need. Thanks!

A couple things to double check are:
Your fluid levels.
Do you know what temp thermostat the engine has?
Are you running a fan shroud of any kind?
Do you have a flex-a-lite fan or a decent solid blade fan?
Is it a clutch fan?
Or maybe you have an electric fan but it could be too small. Take those into consideration before buying a radiator.
Next item would be to drain the radiator and see if the tubes have alot of buildup on them, that can significantly reduce the cooling ability of the radiator.
