Mornin' Phil,
That's a somewhat common occurance, not all that serious and a simple repair. It looks worse than it really is because of all the mess.
I'd just yank the radiator and send it out to a radiator shop for repair; they can clean that radiator and replace the bad cooler along with the tank gaskets.
While the truck is apart, I'd for sure replace the thermostat along with any belts/hoses that it needs and you might as well check that fan clutch hub for oil leakage out the front while you're at it because you can get a good bird's eye view of it with the radiator out.
If the internal transmission cooler oil leak was real bad, you'll want to flush the engine cooling system before refill too.
It hasn't hurt your tranny; doubt if the coolant even got to it. Pull the dipstick and see if the oil is a real faggy pink color instead of red. If it is, just service the transmission and you're on your way.
This breakdown isn't all that bad as ya might think.
