Look around your local area that can rebuild or repair radiators, and yes you can get a larger radiator for your Sierra and the size are all the same. The difference is the amount of core in the radiator for the 4.3 liter and larger engines. Most of the time, it's the plastic ends that fail and crack, you can just buy the replacement ends to rebuild your radiator if it's the ends that went bad.
Here is a link to your radiator, i'm guessing your have a 2000 Sierra.
