Engine Cooling problem
1978 Chevy Truck V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic unknow miles

my truck started overheating this weekend, by overheating i mean it blew ALOT of coolant out of the overflow hole on the radiator, I figured it was a thermostat so I replaced that. Same thing so I replaced the radiator cap still nothing. So i replaced the water pump, STILL hot. It is running around 205-210. would my radiator be causing problems like this? would getting it cleaned fix this or should I just replace it?
