Thermostat might be sticking.May have a blown headgasket.Is it loosing water?Is the oil getting water in it?I put a thermostat in my 1988 Chevy 1500 with 305 engine from a auto parts store and it would overheat until I put an original one in.They looked a lot different.Its been a couple of years ago but it seems like it goes in different too.Like maybe the spring is on top,or it has a spring on top and bottom,be sure and ask how it goes in.Another thing it might be is if your upper radiator hose had a spring in it and it disintegrated or you lost it out of the hose it could be collapsing.I made kind of a spring out of a coat hanger a while back and fixed a hose like that,I think it was on that pickup as well.You can buy a hose that has a spring made into it,never had any trouble with the ones like that. Sometimes it doesnt take a lot to blow a headgasket,especially if it got real hot.
