135 Has black coolant and keeps dumping fluid.

Got a 1972 135 with the Perkins diesel.
Coolant is super dark with strange smell.
Coolant flows out of the overflow as soon
as I start driving. Options I have come up
with are clogged radiator or headgasket
causing presser in the coolant system.
Should I do some serious flushing or order
the gasket kit?
 
So I pulled the radiator and all the hoses flushed everything. Filled with distilled water and replaced the radiator cap. as soon as I started the system pressurized and started spewing water from the overflow. Shut it off and opened the cap releasing a flow of pressure and water still cold to the touch. Guess I need to do a head gasket
