Don't mean to flog this one to death but it seems to me that you could put an even larger radiator under the pickup bed than you could put in the front of the truck (maybe some towing advantage) and since you have even less heat flowing past the cabin, from the engine compartment, there might even be some benefit there.

Other considerations: You might need an electric fan integrated into the belly pan.
It would shift a bit of weight to the rear of the truck. Long durable lines and possibly an upgraded pump might be required. The returning coolant might be slightly cooler than a front mounted radiator. Sleeker, lower front end designs might improve front end safety (if hit pedestrians), among other things.
