hilux 3 row diesel one works a treat. if you are concerned about heat off road try the marks 4wd engine driven fan kit but its a bit pricey.
mine was fine with just a 14" thermo
you can also get the later model diesel rads(93+) fitted with a 4 row core that will keep a v8 cool so should be good for the v6.
Keep it shiny side up!
Now doing general fab work and painting
trays, trailers, engine swaps on request, some tube work, silo section sliders, rust repairs, ute chops etc

I used a WB Holden four core radiator which also cooled the auto tranny I ran in mine. I have posted the details a number of times on here if you want to find out more info.

I run a 2.8 diesel radiator with changed inlet and outlet.
Diesel radiator is the way to go, they bolt straight in.
