It smelled like it had a little anti-freeze in the mix, but not really sweet.

CPL,
From what you say I would remove the rad. and take it to a rad. shop that deals with older car rad's. They can do a flow test and rod it out if necc.
You say your truck is running well, then the timing is not that far off, and if it has anti-freez or stright water, it still should not overheat.
CpL, you got a rad. problem. Dont knock yourself out chasing grimmlins.
98% of the time that an "A" model over heats... is the rad. JMHO.
