The plastic tanks are available as a replaceable part. You do not need to purchase a new radiator. Try a parts store with an AC-Delco sign out front. They are the only ones that will be able to supply a replacement tank. Or, find a radiator repair shop that repairs GM radiators. They also are able to order replaceable plastic tanks for the radiators. And, of course, the plastic tanks are available from your local GM parts department if they aren't available from any other source.
At any rate, replacing a plastic tank is much less expensive than a whole new radiator. And while the radiator shop has the tank off, any sedimentary build up in the core can be cleaned.
Just for grins, I just went to

looked up a 1995 Chevrolet 1500 4 x 2 replacement radiator tank and both the inlet and outlet tank are listed (two inlets and two outlet tanks) depending on transmission and cooling options on particular vehicles.
Have a great day!
